　　The unique air, mountains, and water of Bama have nurtured a large population of centenarians. What’s particularly remarkable is that while the number of centenarians in other longevity villages around the world is declining, Bama’s is increasing year by year. Who could have wrought such a marvel, creating such a wonder in this world? It all comes from the water of Bama.

　　Bama’s geological structure is fractured, making it easy for water to be mineralized. A variety of minerals and trace elements suitable for life exist here in their optimal combinations, forming this magical land and nurturing the centenarians who were born and raised here. Crops such as grains, vegetables, fruits, as well as poultry and livestock raised here have been tested by experts and found to contain higher levels of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and plant fibers needed by the human body compared to other regions. The vast majority of Bama’s elderly residents drink mountain spring water.

　　Located in the mountainous northwest region of Guangxi, the Bama Yao Autonomous County—known as the Land of Longevity—has two high-quality sources of mineral water. The Cifu Mineral Water in Bama Town is located halfway up the mountain, about 10 kilometers from the county seat. The spring emerges at a relatively high elevation and flows continuously all year round in an elegant natural setting. Verified by relevant regional authorities, this mineral water originates from the Triassic geological formation. In addition to meeting standards for strontium and metasilicic acid, it also contains over ten types of trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as bromine, iodine, zinc, lithium, and selenium. This is the first such discovery in Guangxi. The Natuo Min’an Mineral Water, also known as Lelang Mineral Water, is located 13 kilometers from the county seat. Its spring mouth is 110 meters above the river surface and is hailed by locals as “miracle water” capable of curing many ailments. The local drinking water comes in three types: spring water, natural rainwater (in rocky mountain areas), and mountain stream water. The mountain spring and stream water is hard water, which can help reduce cardiovascular diseases, and the water source remains unpolluted.

　　The protected production area for the geographical indication product of Bama Mineral Water is located on Changlv Mountain in Natuo Township, Bama Yao Autonomous County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
