Dakongbang Steam Geysers

Dakongbang Steam Geysers The Dakongbang Steam Geysers are located in the valley of a tributary of the Nanqiao River, near Dakongbang Village, about 14 km southwest of the county town. The geyser group is large in scale, appearing in a belt-like formation with dozens of outlets. The highest water temperature reaches 96°C, the lowest 60°C, with the maximum flow rate at 21.97 liters per second and the minimum at 1 liter per second. The springs emit a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide and contain various trace elements such as lithium, fluorine, silica, metasilicic acid, strontium, and chromium, which have significant benefits for treating illnesses, physiotherapy, and improving health.

Hot Water Waterfall: Formed by the convergence of hot springs, this waterfall has a drop of 12 m and a width of 1 m. The cascading waters gather at the mountain foot into a hot water pool measuring 10×10 m², with a water temperature of 54°C. The pool is clear and blue, with rising steam, and the temperature is ideal, making it an excellent natural hot spring swimming area.

Roaring Steam Vent: Located just 1 m beside the waterfall, with a temperature of 96°C. Steam jets out from rock crevices with immense pressure, forming a plume as wide as a basin that shoots horizontally several meters away, accompanied by a deafening roar that echoes through the valley. The sight is spectacular and magnificent, and taking a natural steam bath here is truly an extraordinary experience.

Mandarin Duck Twin Falls: A pair of small twin waterfalls, one hot and one cold. The hot waterfall has a water temperature of 58.2°C. The two falls are 15 m apart, with gentle streams trickling down the cliffs, resembling a pair of affectionate lovers whispering sweet nothings to each other.
