Taibai Mountain Tangyu Hot Springs

　　    Taibai Mountain Tangyu Hot Springs is situated at Tangyukou on the northern foothills of Taibai Mountain in Meixian County, Baoji, at the entrance of the Taibai Mountain Forest Park, approximately 100 kilometers from Xi’an. The Meixian Tangyu Hot Springs are also known as “Phoenix Spring” or “West Tangyu.” Surrounded by mountains and water, the area features ancient lush trees and picturesque scenery. It earned the name Phoenix Spring because it lies nestled between Longfeng Mountain and Phoenix Mountain.

　　    According to historical records, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, once built the “Fengquan Palace” here as a summer retreat and bathing spot. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty visited the site three times and bestowed upon it the name “Fengquan Tang.” Currently, there are three major springs in Meixian Tangyu Hot Springs, with water temperatures consistently maintained around 60°C. The mineral-rich waters contain various elements such as potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, calcium, and iodine, with a relatively high content of sodium sulfate, which is believed to have therapeutic effects on skin diseases and arthritis. Several hotels have been established in the area to accommodate visitors for both bathing and lodging.
