Ten Thousand Buddhas Hot Spring

Ten Thousand Buddhas Hot Spring

Ten Thousand Buddhas Hot Spring, located by Wanfo Lake in Tangchi Town, Shucheng County, was originally known as "West Tangchi" and stands in contrast to "East Tangchi" in Lujiang County. It has long been hailed as a "heavenly blessed land." The Qing Dynasty literary figure Dai Mingshi wrote an essay titled "Record of the Hot Spring." Covering an area of 15,000 square meters with a water discharge area of 2,500 square meters, it is a typical high-heat radon spring, with a constant water temperature of 65 degrees Celsius. It is rich in 16 types of trace elements essential to the human body and is highly effective in treating skin diseases, arthritis, colds, and pain in the waist and legs. The site now features the largest hot spring swimming pool in the province, integrating bathing, convalescence, and tourism.

Tangchi is a mountain town with a history of over a thousand years, renowned worldwide for its hot springs. The famous Qing Dynasty literary figure Dai Mingshi once bathed here and was so impressed that he wrote the "Record of the Hot Spring." The town has several springs where hot water gushes out continuously, steaming warmly. Generations of locals in West Tangchi have lived on this land, using the hot spring water for daily life. The water from West Tangchi's hot springs is of particularly high quality—it is a typical high-heat radon spring containing 16 essential human trace elements. With a constant water temperature of around 65 degrees Celsius, it is especially effective in treating skin diseases, arthritis, periarthritis of the shoulder, colds, and pain in the waist and legs. The mineral water found in West Tangchi has been proven to be of extremely high grade, rich in rare trace elements, and comparable to that of Qingdao’s Laoshan Mineral Water.

The town is embraced by mountains, covered in lush trees and green bamboo, with azaleas blazing like fire. Nestled against the hills and by the water, the peaceful and serene settlement makes it an ideal destination for travelers. In recent years, newly developed markets for chestnuts, tea, and traditional Chinese medicinal materials have also been established.
