The beautiful and colorful springs are the condensation of nature's life and can evoke people's fantastic thoughts.

Since the Southern Dynasties, dignitaries and literati from all dynasties have come here to visit and bathe.

It is said that during the Xiaoliang period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a queen mother cured skin diseases with spring water and was named a holy spring by the emperor.

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, there was an observer named Han_ from Zhejiang Province. His daughter contracted a "bad disease" and sought medical treatment everywhere, but nothing improved. Later, he heard that Tangshan Spring could cure the disease, so he made a special trip to send his daughter there. She took a bath in Tangshan and was cured of her illness quickly.

For this reason, he used the dowry money for his daughter to build the "Shengtang Yanxiang Temple" (commonly known as Tangwang Temple) here.

In the early years of the Republic of China, a large number of dignitaries built hot spring villas here, among which the "Tao Lu" built in 1919 by Jiangning celebrity Tao Baojin is the most famous.

(On June 8, 1946, the Military Command Bureau and the Capital High Court, against the background of completely violating history and having no criminal facts, extremely hastily and in just two months convicted Tao Baojin of "complicity with the Communist Party". The crime of being a traitor to an enemy country and plotting to rebel against one's own country had all his property confiscated as "anti-production". However, "Tao Lu" had already borne the brunt of being confiscated as a "counter-production" before Tao Baojin was "tried", and was confiscated under President Chiang Kai-shek. Under his personal attention, the "Tao Cottage" at No. 3 Wenquan Road was transformed from a national industry that "helped all living beings" - a private asset brutally occupied by the Japanese invaders - into a private property in an instant.
