The most fun of the year was to boil boiled eggs in the hot spring! Later, because of the danger of water scalding, some people slipped and burned, so they surrounded the railings and could no longer boil eggs. The pool was also dug up to become what it is now. (Geothermal Valley belongs to Qingying Spring, the water temperature is above 90 degrees) (The former foot bath area is now closed and abandoned) In the early stage of the completion of the construction, the drainage ditch was opened to the public to soak their feet.
