Baiyangdian Hot Spring City

Baiyangdian Hot Spring City is located on the shores of Baiyangdian in Xiongxian County, Baoding City, Hebei Province. It is an emerging tourist destination in North China that combines travel, vacation, leisure, convalescence, recreation, and conferences. Currently, it is a designated tourism resort in Hebei Province. Baiyangdian Hot Spring City is known as the "Little Jiangnan of the North." The area enjoys a moist climate year-round. High-quality natural selenium-rich mineral water has been discovered within the city and is hailed as...

"Divine Spring and Beautiful Water," with reserves reaching 10 billion tons and temperatures exceeding 80°C. Baiyangdian has a long history — as early as the Neolithic Age, there were human activities in the western and southern parts of the lake area (present-day Liucun and Liangzhuang in Anxin County).

During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the lake area was under the jurisdiction of the Yan and Zhao states, which is why it is referred to today as the "South of Yan and North of Zhao." Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty built imperial palaces in the lake area and visited for hunting and sightseeing a total of 40 times. During the Liberation War, Commander-in-Chief [Zhu De] commanded the Qingfengdian and Shijiazhuang Liberation campaigns in the Baiyangdian area, adding new glory to this ancient lake region. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the guerrilla force "Yanling Team" carried out flexible and mobile guerrilla warfare, defeating stronger enemies, striking hard at the Japanese invaders, and greatly boosting the prestige of the Chinese nation, showcasing the intelligence and bravery of the people of Yan and Zhao. The novel "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" written by author Xu Guangyao is based on the "Yanling Team."

Renowned writer Sun Li's "Lotus Pond" and the work "New Heroes and Heroines" by Kong Jue and Yuan Jing are both set in the Baiyangdian area. The hot spring city holds broad investment prospects — it is built upon the unique "three waters" resources: Baiyangdian water, hot spring water, and mineral water, all of which are attractive investment hotspots for businesses. With the formation of economic globalization, China’s accession to the WTO, the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the rapid rise of high-tech industries and economic technologies, the booming development of the tourism industry, the proposal of the Greater Beijing Economic Circle, and the non-renewable nature of land resources, all provide rare historical opportunities for the development of Baiyangdian Hot Spring City.

Specific location: Baiyangdian Hot Spring City is situated on the shores of Baiyangdian in Xiongxian County, Baoding City, Hebei Province.
