Huanhua Spring mineral water is a low-temperature cold spring with a temperature of 5.6°C. It contains a large amount of carbon dioxide gas, with free carbon dioxide at 2,000 mg per liter—twice the level found in the world-famous Vichy spring. In addition, it contains 3 to 7 eman of radon. The water includes a variety of carbonates in appropriate proportions, with metasilicic acid at 31.2, and its cations mainly consist of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium ions, which are largely consistent with the ion ratios in human blood, making it beneficial for therapeutic needs. Its anions are predominantly bicarbonate, along with small amounts of chloride and sulfate ions, and the total mineralization is 0.27. It has a suitable iron content that is prone to oxidation, with 20 to 40 mg of iron per liter, mainly in the form of divalent iron ions, which aids in iron absorption and shows significant efficacy in treating iron-deficiency anemia. The water also contains fourteen essential trace elements required by the human body, with moderate levels of iron, manganese, strontium, zinc, cobalt, and copper, all in proportions similar to those in human blood, making it an ideal supplement for human trace elements. All toxic and radioactive elements are within national safety standards.

Crystal Palace, also known as the Ice Cave, was formed 512,000 years ago. Its formation is due to two main factors: the presence of island-like permafrost layers underground from ancient volcanoes, and the cooling effect of cold air on flowing volcanic lava. As the surface of the lava solidified into a hard shell, the lower part continued to flow. In areas where subsequent lava supply was insufficient…
