The natural hot springs with abundant water are divided into 6 springs: main spring, eye spring, stomach spring, flat spring, tracheitis spring, and cold spring. Because the water temperature and chemical substances contained in the source area are different, they are divided into treating skin diseases and stomach diseases. , eye diseases, respiratory tract and wind-cold diseases. Different treatment areas.
According to folk wisdom, the best time to bathe is in spring. Because it is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, it is called "peach blossom washing water".

A young man named Erlang was so strong that he carried 12 mountains to chase the sun. When he caught up with one, he used mountains to hold him down. When the last sun was left, the brave Erlang died of exhaustion, so there was only one sun left in the sky. One of the 11 suns pressed down on Akagi, and the spring water underneath was heated by the sun and became the current hot spring.

During the Revolutionary War, the Haituo Nature Reserve was once the headquarters of the party, government and military leadership in the Pingbei Anti-Japanese Base Area, where the majority of soldiers and civilians were active in the Chinese Communist Party Immortal achievements have been created under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
In November 1939, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China Hebei Recha District Committee and the Military and Political Committee of the Advance Army proposed the three-in-one strategic task of "consolidating Pingxi, adhering to Jidong, and opening up Pingbei". In June 1940, Pingbei was The Political Department of the Military Division was established. In mid-July, the Pingbei Prefectural Committee and the Commissioner's Office were established at the same time, stationed in Nanniangou, Jiningbao, Xipo, Zhujiagou, Pingdi, and Caiyaozi areas in the Haituo area. Duan Suquan, Lu Ping, Zhong Huikun, and Zhan Danan, the leaders of the Pingbei Party, government and army, commanded the anti-aggression war here.
In May 1940, the Anti-Japanese Government of Longchi Lianhe County was established and was based in Jinningbao Village, Diao'e Town. In July, Longyanhuai United County was established. The county party and government leadership organs were permanently stationed in Haituo and Yanjiaping villages. There was an office cave for County Magistrate Cai Ping in Xiaobeiwa.
In early 1942, the Pingbei Guerrilla Detachment was reorganized into the 40th Regiment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region. The regiment establishment meeting was held on February 28, 1942, in Qiangushan Village, District 4, Lianhe County, Longchi. From then on, there were two main forces in the Pingbei area, the 10th Regiment and the 40th Regiment. This year, in order to strengthen the propaganda, mobilization and guidance of the anti-Japanese work in the Pingbei area, the Hebei Recha District Party Committee decided to move the Jinjin Newspaper to Haituoshan District, Pingbei, as the official newspaper of the Pingbei Prefectural Committee. The newspaper office moved to Xiaomijiagou, Shibangou, Nantaizi, Laomiaodi and other villages. In 1949, the newspaper office moved to a cave in Liangpenggou, Houzhuangzi, a natural village in Jiningbao Village. The cave is more than 10 meters above the ground, and climbing ropes are used to climb up and down the cave. Zhao Shun, a model supporter of the army, is responsible for delivering meals and intelligence every day. The newspaper staff insisted on running the newspaper in the cave and did not go down the mountain.
The Japanese invaders implemented the "Three Lights" policy in Pingbei, promoting "no residence, no work" and "human circles" to create no man's land. There are fighting every day in the base area, and there is bloodshed everywhere. In 1942, the enemy forces launched 32 large and small raids. More than 430 village cadres and anti-Japanese activists were killed, more than 1,100 people were arrested, more than 25,580 houses were burned, 181,500 kilograms of grain were lost, and more than 2,100 livestock were killed.
During the War of Liberation, the masses in the Pingbei base area actively supported the front line, joined the army and participated in the war, organized stretcher groups, transport teams, reception stations, military depots, and transportation stations, and nursed the wounded, completing the task brilliantly. Zhao Shun's exemplary behavior of supporting the army and giving preferential treatment to the resisting subordinates was commended by his superiors. In March 1945, the Pingbei District Committee called on the entire district to learn from Zhao Shun's exemplary behavior of supporting the army, supporting the government and treating the resisting subordinates favorably, and launch the "Zhao Shun Movement". Zhao Shun became a typical example of double support in Pingbei area. On the boulder in the east of Haituo Village is engraved "Pingbei Anti-Japanese Base Memorial Site" written by Marshal Nie Rongzhen. The three characters "Haituo" written by Duan Suquan, the former secretary of the Pingbei Prefectural Committee, are also engraved on the boulder. It has become a base for revolutionary traditional education and patriotism education.
Golden Pavilion Mountain - Guanshan Mountain
Jinge Mountain, commonly known as Guanshan Mountain, is located 11 kilometers north of Chicheng County.

Today, Qiu Chuji's Taoist temple and holy statues are still relatively intact here.
Guanshan planned to build a forest resort in 1996. After recent years of development, it has begun to take shape. With the theme of eco-tourism, six major scenic spots have been planned, including wooden house accommodation area, kinetic energy entertainment area, mountaineering and engraving area, hunting and archery area, and cultural relic viewing area. The first Mountaineering Festival was also successfully held, and Kinkakusan forest tourism will be favored by the world with its unique style.

Bingshan Liang is famous for its coolness, strangeness and wideness. Cool, as mentioned above. It's strange that the rocks on the mountain have no roots, the rocks on the top have no origins, and countless strange peaks and strange rocks come from nowhere.

The wonders of the stone sea are created by the interaction of ice and wind erosion. There are all kinds of strange things and shapes, and there are stone mortars of different sizes scattered on the rocks. The larger one is about 1 meter, and the smaller one is only a dozen centimeters. Literati and celebrities from past dynasties left inscriptions after viewing: "Mountain Soul", "Jue fortress Wonder", "Kongtong Yixiu", "Shiyuan", "Looking up to the sun to capture the moon", "Stone Forest", etc. The summit of the iceberg is also famous for its vastness.
