North-South Hot Springs

Chengnanzhuang Hot Spring, also known as South Hot Spring, is located in Wentang Natural Village, Houzhuang Village, Chengnanzhuang Town, 27 kilometers southwest of the county town. The spring outlet at Wentang consists of a pair of exquisitely carved marble lion heads, from whose mouths the water flows. Throughout all four seasons, the water remains crystal clear, with a constant temperature maintained at 55 degrees Celsius, earning it the nicknames “Treasure Spring” and “Holy Water.” Locals from nearby villages often visit to bathe here for both minor and major ailments, and the hot spring is especially effective for treating skin diseases. During the early spring season when flowers bloom and butterflies flutter, visitors from surrounding counties flock to the springs, a tradition referred to as “Zhatang.”

North Hot Spring, also called Wuwangkou Hot Spring, is situated in Beizi Natural Village, Wuwangkou Village, 40 kilometers northwest of the county town. The hot spring water can reach up to 90 degrees Celsius, hot enough to boil an egg. On the other side of the hot spring is a cold spring that flows into separate male and female pools through a stone channel, allowing visitors to adjust the water temperature to their preference. Approximately 20 kilometers northeast of the North Hot Spring, in Xiabao Village, there is another hot spring known as Xiabao Hot Spring. Its water temperature is around 40°C. Today, villagers not only use the water for bathing but also for irrigating fields or drinking.
