Baotu Spring, also known as Threshold Spring, is the source of long water and has a history of 2700 years. Baotu Spring, with three holes in parallel, sounds like hidden thunder, springs are excited and water is surging. The spring water is kept at around 18 degrees Celsius all the year round. In the severe winter, the water vapor curled up and the fog disappeared.
