Introduction   The Conghua Hot Spring Scenic Area is located in Wenquan Town, Conghua City, about 75 kilometers from Guangzhou. The entire area spans 14.5 square kilometers and is divided into two parts: the Hot Spring Tourist Zone and the Tianhu Tourist Zone.

There are a total of 13 hot spring sources in the Conghua Hot Spring area, distributed along both the eastern and western banks of the river. Currently, Xianmu Garden Hot Spring Park and Bishuiwan Hot Spring Resort are two of the more well-known hot springs in the scenic area.

Conghua Hot Spring, also known as Liuxi River Hot Spring, is a renowned scenic destination and health resort both in China and abroad. The hot springs were developed and utilized as early as the Ming and Qing dynasties. The spring water is colorless and tasteless, crystal clear in quality, and contains elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, silicon dioxide, and radon. Currently, 12 hot spring sources have been identified in the area, with temperatures ranging from a minimum of 36°C to a maximum of 71°C. Conghua Hot Spring provides auxiliary therapeutic benefits for various types of arthritis, as well as skin, digestive, and nervous system diseases.

The Tianhu Tourist Zone is located to the west of the hot spring area, and its scenery is characterized mainly by mountain forests and waterfalls.

Conghua is famous as the "land of lychees." During the peak summer season when lychees ripen, visitors come here to soak in the hot springs, sample local delicacies and fresh lychees, making it an annual highlight.

The Beautiful Legend of Conghua Hot Spring:

Legend has it that there was once a village called Qinglongtou by the Liuxi River in Conghua, where an elderly herb-gathering man surnamed Xu lived. One year, during a plague, seeing his fellow villagers fall ill without medical help, the old man, despite his advanced age and difficulty walking, climbed up to Toujia Mountain to gather herbs. His kind heart moved a fairy, who gifted him a silver pot that could turn spring water into medicine. The old man used this silver pot to cure the plague that had spread through the village. However, the miraculous effects of the silver pot caught the attention of a greedy tyrant. To escape being robbed, the old man climbed up a cliff. But the villain pursued him relentlessly, so the old man cried out to the fairy and leapt off the cliff. Unexpectedly, where the silver pot shattered, a jet of water gushed out, washing the villains into the Liuxi River and drowning them. From then on, clear springs flowed day and night by the Liuxi River. These health-giving and healing springs are the Conghua Hot Springs.
