Andi Hot Springs

　　The Andi Hot Springs Resort is situated beside a county-level highway, surrounded by miles of dense pine forests, where orchids emit a delicate fragrance and camellias bloom in full splendor. It is an ideal destination for leisure and medical retreats. Nearby, in the area around Gan Zhuang Village, there is a forest-hidden stone forest known as the "Forest within the Forest," which is also a rare scenic attraction. Other nearby sites of interest include the Xiao Longjing Cave, where several fossilized saber-toothed elephant tusks have been unearthed, and the historic settlement known as "Bazhai," both of which are popular destinations for visitors. Five kilometers south of Andi, at the Qishan Fork in the road, lies an ancient thoroughfare that historically served as “a key route leading north to Shuixi, south to Huangsha Ferry, and east to Zunyi.”

　　Today, remnants of the Ming Dynasty “Daying” military camp and the Tusi chieftain’s “official fortress” can still be found there. Other attractions include Lotus Cave, Wenjiaqiao Reservoir, and Mujiaqiao Reservoir, all of which are great spots for escaping the summer heat. To the east of the town lies Baihu Mountain, atop which is the “Fairy Cave.” Outside the cave stands a temple exclusively inhabited by monks and hermits, while at the mountain’s base roars the thunderous Dou Tan Waterfall. Countless visitors flock here to hike the mountain and worship at the temple, creating a lively atmosphere. To the west of the town is Guoyong Fort, the former residence site of Wang San?, leader of the peasant uprising forces during the Xianfeng and Tongzhi reigns of the Qing Dynasty. Southeast of the town is Chuandong Reservoir, the largest provincial-level fish breeding farm in the region. The resettled residents of the reservoir area continue to maintain the customs and traditions of river-dwelling communities. All of these sites are highly sought-after by travelers.
