Why is Wuyi called the hot spring city?

Speaking of hot springs, everyone will definitely think of one place, and that is Wuyi! But it is known as the "City of Hot Springs". So why does Wuyi have such a title? Are the hot springs there good? Let’s take a look with the editor!

Hot springs are Wuyi’s most representative tourism resources, injecting vitality and soul into Wuyi. "Winter bathing in the pool warms the belly." Hot springs have been a good way to maintain health since ancient times. Once taken into the soup, it can not only keep out the cold and warm up, but also nourish the body and rejuvenate the body and mind.

As the first and only "Chinese Hot Spring City" named by the Ministry of Land and Resources in Zhejiang Province, Wuyi's unique natural resources make Wuyi a good place for health preservation. The daily water output of Wuyi Hot Spring is about 24,000 tons, and the active spring with a temperature between 42-45°C makes bathing wonderful.

Half a century ago, when Luo Youtan, a fluorite miner, was drilling down, a stream of heat gushes out of the rock wall. From then on, Wuyi and hot springs formed an indissoluble bond. One of the most important criteria to measure whether a hot spring is a real hot spring is whether it has a mining license issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources. According to sampling testing by the Ministry of Land and Resources, Wuyi hot spring water is metasilicate fluoride water with a pH value of 7.4, which is weakly alkaline. Its composition is characterized by fluoride, metasilicic acid, bicarbonate, sulfate and sodium.

Metasilicic acid Wuyi hot spring water is rich in minerals and has a fluorine content that is 20 times higher than the medical standard. It not only beautifies the skin, but also achieves physical therapy effects. For example, when the epidemic was raging in China, Wuyi's insistence on "0" epidemic was more or less related to the hot springs here. Hot springs flow, infiltrating people's hearts and nourishing the earth.

Today, with the development of the times and market demand, people's demand for health has increased significantly. Wuyi's hot springs have also been completely upgraded, in line with international standards, and truly moving towards "hot spring rehabilitation" and "hot spring physiotherapy".

Spa is the core function of hot springs, which makes full use of the medical effects of mineral elements in hot springs. The spa treatment and rehabilitation system based on modern medicine and spa technology mainly has the functions of preventing diseases, restoring health and treating diseases. Previously, this type of product was developing well in Europe, and people would undergo physical examinations before bathing in hot springs. Suitable spa treatments are recommended based on the visitor's physical condition.

Today, Wuyi is already doing such a thing, and on this basis, it has gradually formed a health regimen with the theme of "five nourishments" such as nourishing qi, preserving water, nourishing health, nourishing the body, nourishing food, and nourishing medicine. The tourism product system has built a "five-type" treatment and recuperation base including "hot spring health preservation, leisure and spiritual nourishment, fitness and entertainment, life experience, and industrial extension". With the theme of "Yang Kang", we will vigorously build three core areas: a national-level all-area tourism demonstration area, a national tourist resort, and a national 5A-level scenic spot, and enhance the level of the resort's hot springs and Niutoushan ecological recreation. Promote the development of Yangkang's tourism industry, increase the introduction of internationally renowned hotels, moderately develop Yangkang real estate, and develop Yangkang specialty products such as hot spring beauty, hot spring medical treatment, and Yangkang cuisine, so as to attract more high-end people to Wuhan for leisure and vacation.
