Huangshan Hot Spring Scenic Spot


The Hot Spring of the Yellow Mountains of nationwide fame was discovered and tapped more than a thousand years ago. Gushing forth from the foot of Purple Cloud Peak, it has never run dry during the most severe droughts nor overflooded during excessive rain. It is of a high-temperature carbonate type, with therapeutic effects for metabolic disorder, cardiovascular disease and malfunctions of digestive, nervous and motorial systems. Its clear waters remain at 42 all the year round and can be used for drinking and bathing. Baths and swimming pools have been built around the spring.
