Zhonghua Long Hot Spring in Tongliang, Chongqing
Introduction: The Zhonghua Long Hot Spring Resort is adjacent to Bachuan Town, the county seat. It includes the Zhonghua Long Hot Spring, the municipal-level Bayue Mountain Scenic Area, and the Xuan Tian Lake reservoir currently under construction, which will cover an area of 2,000 acres. Together, they create a harmonious blend of mountains, water, forests, and springs. The Zhonghua Long Hot Spring gushes 5,000 cubic meters per day at a constant temperature of 42°C, rich in human-needed trace elements such as hydrogen sulfide, metasilicic acid, metaboric acid, fluorine, and strontium. It is classified as high-quality therapeutic hot mineral water of the calcium-magnesium sulfate type. Geothermal experts regard it as the most developmentally valuable constant-temperature hot mineral water in the southwestern region. The resort features soaking pools of various sizes and functions that can accommodate thousands of people simultaneously. It also offers high-standard swimming pools, a convention center, a Dragon Dance Square, and other facilities. It can host 900 diners, 400 overnight guests, and 500 conference attendees, with parking for 250 vehicles. Within the scenic area are Yueyang Hotel, Golden Dragon Bay Resort, and Xianglongju Resort, each equipped with indoor and outdoor soaking pools, as well as dining, accommodation, and conference services. Visiting the Zhonghua Long Hot Spring Resort offers a return-to-nature experience. In the scenic area, the rustling pines and forest waves of Bayue Mountain never cease, surrounded by lush bamboo, the chirping of orioles, and swaying palm trees shading small pools. The highlight comes at night when, amid the gentle breeze, rising steam, and while soaking in the hot spring, you can listen to birds chirping in the night, let your imagination run wild, breathe in the refreshing fragrance of pine and bamboo that invigorates the lungs, or head to the Dragon Dance Square to watch performances. For those who prefer a quieter experience, you can soak in the warm springs while enjoying an open-air movie, quietly savoring the elegant joy of returning to nature. Once the Xuan Tian Lake Reservoir is completed, the landscape will be sparkling with vast blue waters, and the lake will feature nearly a hundred islands. A ten-mile-long embankment lined with weeping willows will surround the lake, and the scenic area will include various Dragon Palace villas, allowing visitors to bathe in the Dragon Spring, stay in the Dragon Palace, ride in the Dragon Carriage, watch the Dragon Dance, wear Dragon Robes, and fully enjoy the delights brought by dragon culture and art.
