The natural environment of North Hot Springs

Under the Jinyun Mountain in Beibei, Chongqing, next to the Wentang Gorge in Jialing River, there is a bright pearl, which is the famous Yubei Hot Spring. There are five hot springs in Chongqing, the North Hot Spring is the top of the five hot springs, and it was called the "first spring" in Qing Dynasty. There are "four wonders" in the hot springs in the north: "Yungen springs overflow, gurgling and responding to Songtao", one must; Spring water flows into the temple pool, "green algae boiling water is uneven, red fish swim", which is the second best; The calcium content of spring water ranks first in Chongqing hot springs, containing trace elements and radon gas, which has good medical effect and is the three must; There are as many springs as 10, and the spring flow is large. The spring water in the triangle pond alone is 3628 tons per day, and the water temperature is generally 37℃, which is suitable for bathing and swimming all year round. These are the four wonders. The best thing is the "cleaning" of the triangle pool. Because of the high exposed terrain and large water flow, the spring water forms a waterfall shower curtain with a height of 3 meters and a width of 10 meters. Tourists are under the water curtain, and the hot spring waterfall washes and moistens their skin, making them feel refreshed. This kind of happiness is unique to Chongqing hot springs. Many young men and women wear bathing suits to take pictures here, such as hibiscus out of the water and playing with dragons.

The landscape of North Hot Springs is famous for its exquisiteness and elegance. Guandi Temple, Jieyin Temple, Giant Buddha Hall and Guanyin Hall are quaint and quiet, surrounded by ancient fragrant gardens, stone carving gardens, fish ponds, milk flower caves, lotus ponds, fish ponds and other attractions, each with its own style; In the meantime, the paths are vertical and horizontal, the strange rocks and stars, and the hot spring pavilions are opposite, just like a huge bonsai. A remarkable feature of this "big bonsai" is the use of spring water for landscaping. Around the temple, there are stone ditches and ponds. The clear spring flows in the ditch, and the clear water in the pool is soft, which adds a bit of beauty to the scenic spot. The weather is a little cooler, the warm spring in the pool is steaming, and the fish in the pool are still swimming around, all the tourists are amazed.

In recent years, the hot springs in the north have been closed as green spaces, with open gardens. Liu Cuiyuan and Bajiao Garden have been newly opened, and a number of scenic spots have been built, such as Tang Chi, Lanchi, Xingzhi Bridge, Lianxi Pavilion, Taohuaxi, Waterwheel and Wentang Historical Songs. These scenic spots also make full use of the advantages of hot springs to assist in modeling. The scenic spots are rugged terrain surrounded by mountains and rocks, in which spring water twists and turns, or becomes a gurgling stream, or a miniature waterfall, or a flowery pond, fake stone poems, winding bridges and flowing water, which is wonderful. Among them, "Wulong Biquan" is made of bluestone, 24 meters long and 3 meters high. There are five dragons carved on the wall, with their heads towering, protruding from the bluestone wall, bared their teeth and bared their claws, showing great forbearance. Knocking on the stone drum, Zhang Long spouted hot springs, and the spring tinkled and spilled into the pool under the wall. What a three-dimensional rain map of Wulong. This is the first scenic spot where the guests of Youbeiquan took photos as a souvenir.

Soaking warm soup is a great pleasure to visit hot springs in the north. 1992, a bathing and swimming center was built in North Hot Spring Scenic Area.
