But for the residents of Rucheng, Hunan, it is very common. They think they have such a hot spring, but they still regard it as it? A treasure trove of feng shui? . Most people may have heard of this place. The river here is really hot, so it is called hot water river. As the name implies, all the water in a hot water river is hot, which is what we call a high-temperature hot spring.
The hot water river in Rucheng is boiling hot all year round, and some want to boil like boiling water. It is said to be the natural hot spring with the largest flow and the highest temperature in South China. It is full of smoke at any time, but it is not the kind of smoke in the mountains, but the smoke that rises slowly because of the high water temperature. When you are in it, it is like being in a fairyland. Friends who like sauna can also go here. After all, the natural heat and heat here will make people feel more comfortable than the sauna outside.
The water temperature of the hot water river is above 90℃ all the year round, and the highest is around 98℃. Such a high water temperature can be used in daily life. In fact, this is how local residents operate. For example, the water here is usually used to kill chickens and perm their hair. Residents here seldom boil water at home all year round. After all, there is such a natural river that provides hot water service all the year round. They will wash clothes, cook and even wash their hair with water from Jehol. You see, such a natural hot spring benefits everyone. However, when traveling here, you should pay attention. Don't accidentally step into the river. Being burned is really a serious matter.
Hunan people are very hospitable, and every household has some relatives more or less. Generally in our place, when relatives and friends come, they will choose to cook a big table, warmly treat visiting relatives and friends, and boil water to cook, but people in Rucheng are much more relaxed, because at the bottom of the hot water river, the villagers have specially opened up a new place to kill the chickens and get the wool. During the Spring Festival, they can even see the villagers killing and scalding pigs, which is really hard. Sometimes I can't help but wonder if they will bring an egg and two dishes directly when they are hungry, scald them in water and then dip them in it. If you use rice, can you steam it directly in a small pot? In this case, the fire doesn't need to be burned.
Here? Hot water town? Most of the people who live there are She people. Relatively few people know this place, and it is also called Xanadu by outsiders. No one has come to disturb this quiet place too much for the time being. I hope it can be better preserved, not too commercial! If you want to stop and have a rest, you can come here and enjoy the gift of nature with the local residents.
