Dagunguo Scenic Resort

The Rehai is located in the southwest of Tengchong, covering an area of about 9 square kilometers. There are 88 hot springs, warm springs, boiling springs, and fountains, among which more than 10 have water temperatures above 90oC, making it the largest geothermal area in China. The entire Rehai tourist area is surrounded by green mountains, with a river flowing from east to west along the mountain terrain. The river water blends with the hot springs on the riverbed, allowing for bathing in the river all year round, which the locals call 'Bath Pond River'. Walking slowly up the mountain path, the scenery along the way and the various distinctive hot springs and boiling springs make one temporarily forget the fatigue of the body. The first stop is the Toad Mouth Fountain, where huge rocks resemble several toads lying on their backs, swallowing clouds and puffing mist, spouting jets of air and water columns into the sky. It is said that the fountain's water temperature is 95.5oC, with a flow rate of 1 liter per second, erupting every 1-3 seconds, reaching a height of 1.5 meters. Next to the fountain is the Bath Pond River Waterfall, where the water flows gently, cascading down with a drop. This spectacle of one up and one down, one hot and one cold, draws countless tourists' exclamations. Next to it is the Lion's Head, where the giant cliff has been eroded by the boiling spring water over the years, forming gullies that from a distance look like the head of a long-haired lion. Continuing forward, one arrives at the beautiful gorge, where a pool of hot spring 'Immortal's Bath Pond' is just right for people to soak in. The Immortal's Bath Pond is also known as the Beauty Pool, which is now occupied by the Beauty Pool Hotel, requiring a hotel stay to enjoy the hot spring. From the cliff, one can see several handsome men and beautiful women soaking in the hot spring, which indeed lives up to the name of Beauty Pool. Following the mountain road, there are various tourist scenic areas created by hot springs along the way, one of which is a beautiful rock known as the Beauty Spring Skirt, with boiling water flowing from the spring eye above, dressing it like a beautiful multicolored skirt. The Drumming Spring, with a water temperature of 94.8oC, is named for the rumbling sound it makes when steam and boiling water hit a large rock blocking the spring's eye, resembling the beating of a drum. The Conceiving Spring is divided into male and female wells. It is said that drinking this spring water can help with pregnancy and treat infertility, attracting many young couples to drink the water in hopes of having children. The Glasses Spring, with two springs side by side and a water temperature of 94oC, is named for its crystal-clear water shaped like glasses, also resembling two sisters singing side by side, hence it is also called the Sisters Spring. Further up is the Pearl Spring, with a water temperature of 94oC and hundreds of steam holes at the bottom. Strings and rows of bubbles continuously emerge from the ground, resembling a bushel of sparkling, translucent pearls, shining in various colors under the sunlight. Continuing upwards, one reaches the most spectacular sight of Rehai, the Big Boiling Pot. The Big Boiling Pot is a circular hot spring with a diameter of over 6 meters and a depth of 1.5 meters. The surface temperature is 96.6oC, and the bottom temperature can reach 102oC, with a flow rate of 0.94 liters per second. The boiling water churns day and night, and the steam rises all year round. Around the Big Boiling Pot is a rest area for tourists. Sitting down in the open-air teahouse, with a pot of fragrant tea, a bucket of hot spring, basking in the sun, and a gentle breeze on the face, one can treat ailments and enjoy a wonderful life.

Visiting the Tengchong Hot Sea scenic area in Yunnan in winter feels like spring. The steaming hot spring water flows down the mountain stream, the trees are all green, and the suitable temperature makes you want to jump into the hot spring as soon as possible to relax. Tengchong Hot Sea is one of the places with the richest geothermal resources in the Tengchong area. The famous Hot Sea Big Pot, the spring water that comes out is close to 100 degrees all year round, such hot water must be cooled before bathing.

Yunnan is a peculiar place, home to various ethnic groups who are adept at singing and dancing, and it also boasts a unique geographical and climatic environment. This trip to Yunnan finally brought me to the long-awaited Baoshan Tengchong, the hot spring capital on the western border of Yunnan. I arrived at the peculiar Rehai Geothermal Hot Springs Scenic Area. Surrounded by mist and the smell of sulfur, breathing in the strong sulfur aroma, I felt the scorching heat. Rehai's natural volcanic geothermal hot springs are numerous, with boiling hot spring water gushing out from the crevices, reaching temperatures of ninety-something degrees or even over a hundred degrees, giving an almost surreal feeling. Walking on the land heated by billions of years of volcanic geothermal activity, strolling through the forest, hot spring waterfalls pouring out, various hot spring eyes of all sizes, often forming beautiful colored rocks at the bottom due to the geothermal heat year-round. The bubbling Pearl Spring, the Sister Spring Eyes on either side, the legendary Pregnant Spring that is said to induce pregnancy, the Drumming Spring with its drum-like water flow... I marveled at nature's craftsmanship every step of the way! Passing through the Science and Culture Corridor, learning about various knowledge of Tengchong's geothermal hot springs, was truly enlightening. The Rehai Boiling Pot is another highlight of Rehai's geothermal features, a large spring eye resembling a huge boiling pot, a popular spot for taking photos. There's also the Tengchong hot spring egg wrapped in straw, one of Yunnan's eighteen oddities, along with peanuts, potatoes, and more, all of which can be steamed with the hot steam from the springs. If you get too hot from walking, you can also try a Rehai hot spring cultural and creative internet-famous ice cream, so dress lightly. Of course, you can also take home some of Rehai's sulfur soap and volcanic rocks, which are very useful. If you have time, you can also soak in the hot springs of Rehai Bath Valley, truly a resort for escaping the cold and vacationing!
