Arxan Hot Springs

　　Introduction      The Arxan Hot Springs are located within the territory of Arxan City, Xing'an League. The area boasts beautiful scenery, fresh air, low levels of pollutants, abundant ultraviolet rays, and a high concentration of ionized air. The renowned "Haishen Sacred Spring Tourist Resort" is situated here. There are 48 mineral springs scattered across an area that stretches 500 meters from north to south and over 70 meters from east to west. These springs are categorized into cold springs, warm springs, hot springs, and high-temperature springs, with temperatures ranging from as low as 1.5°C. They contain the radioactive element radon as well as more than ten other elements such as chlorine, magnesium, sulfur, and silicon. The hot spring waters have been found to be highly effective in treating diseases related to the human body’s motor organs, digestive system, cardiovascular system, nervous system, and respiratory system. They are particularly effective in treating conditions such as rheumatism, arthritis, lumbar and leg pain caused by trauma, gastrointestinal disorders, skin diseases, and hair loss.     The resort is nestled to the south of Arxan Town, where pine and birch trees stand in pleasant contrast. It is built amidst lush greenery and blooming flowers, with distant mountains and nearby houses blending harmoniously in a composition reminiscent of an ink-wash painting. Stepping into the mineral spring area, you’ll find 48 springs densely arranged across a 500-meter-long and 40-meter-wide grassy field. The crystal-clear springs gush out continuously and never dry up, even during prolonged droughts. Some springs are just inches apart, while others are several yards away, yet the differences in their temperatures are astonishing. Cold springs register at just 1°C, warm springs are pleasantly mild, and high-temperature springs are as hot as boiling water, emitting steam year-round. The layout of the springs is also quite fascinating, resembling the shape of a reclining human figure from north to south, complete with a “head spring,” “five internal organs springs,” and “foot spring.” Upon closer inspection, you can even identify “eye springs” and “stomach springs.” Legend has it that springs located in different parts of this formation have miraculous healing effects on the corresponding organs of the human body.
