Long Yuan Water Recreation Center is invested and built by enterprises. During 1995, when the old tourism industry was still confused, no one was sure whether it should be done. At that time, Gejiu Geological Survey Brigade decided to invest more than 20 million yuan to build today's "Long Yuan Water Recreation Center" near Longtankou Village, Ruodian Township, Gejiu City, relying on its own underground warm water data.

Step 4 consume the rainforest

5. Gejiu Jinhu

Gejiu Jinhu is located in the center of Gejiu, also known as Gejiu Lake. It is no exaggeration to say that the Golden Lake fell from the sky. In history, ancient water was as expensive as oil, but when the rainy season came, the surrounding landscape slipped away along the sinkhole at the foot of Yinshan Mountain and disappeared without a trace.

1August, 954, three days and three nights of heavy rain, a miracle appeared. A lot of water does not fall into the water, but gushes out from the sinkhole. Coupled with the rolling landscape, factories and houses in low-lying areas were quickly submerged, and the old city became a Wang Yang. At this critical juncture, Gejiu Municipal Committee made a correct decision according to the instructions of the State Council and Yunnan provincial party committees and governments: to stop floods and build dikes around lakes, so as to turn disasters into blessings and benefit the people. Thus, a plateau lake with an area of 0.8 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 5 million square meters was born. After the formation of this flying lake, the Gejiu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government named it Jinhu on the advice of experts, which means that Gejiu is rich in metals, the lake water is hard to come by, and Gejiu construction is in a golden age. Although the administrative map has been named Jinhu, most citizens are still used to calling Jinhu Lake "Gejiu Lake".

Gejiu is a county-level city in Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. It is famous for tin production and has been mining tin for about 2,000 years.

There are Bao Hua Park and Baohua Temple in the city to visit, and Jiasha Hot Spring, 60 kilometers away from the city, is a good place for recuperation and bathing.
