There is also a beautiful legend about Conghua Hot Spring: According to legend, there was once a Qinglongtou Village on the banks of Liuxi River in Conghua, and there lived an old herb collector named Xu in the village. One year, the plague was prevalent. Seeing that the villagers were not treated for the disease, the old man climbed up Toujia Mountain to collect medicine despite his age and inconvenience. His kind heart touched the fairy, who gave him a silver pot with which spring water could be boiled into medicine. The old man used this silver pot to relieve the plague that was prevalent in the village. However, the magical effect of the silver pot alarmed the greedy bully. In order to avoid the bad guys' robbery, the old man was forced to climb up the cliff. However, the bad guys were in hot pursuit, so the old man had no choice but to call to the fairy and jump off the bottom of the cliff. Unexpectedly, a jet of water gushes out from the broken part of the silver pot, and all the bad guys are rushed into the Liuxi River and drowned. From then on, clear springs gushed out from the banks of Liuxi River day and night. This clear spring that was good for health and healing was Conghua Hot Spring.
The main attractions are: Waterfall The hot spring waterfall is located on the stone cliff of Toujia Mountain, in the middle reaches of Toujia River, 3 kilometers away from the Hot Spring Bilang Bridge. The waterfalls are divided into five levels, known as Baizhang Waterfall, Feihong Waterfall and Xiangfen Waterfall. The Baizhang Waterfall consists of 1st, 2nd and 3rd level waterfalls connected into one, which is majestic. During the Republic of China, Zou Lu, the president of Sun Yat-sen University, wrote Su Dongbo's poem "A hundred feet of flying waves leaked into the sky" and engraved it on the stone at the source of the waterfall. In 1962, Chairman Zhu De's handwriting "Mountain Dancing Silver Snake" was engraved on the cliff of Baizhang Waterfall. Feihong Waterfall is the fourth level. The waterfall is rumbling, rain and mist are rising in the sky, the sun is shining, colorful, and the flying rainbow appears in the valley. Xiangfen Waterfall is the fifth level. The waterfall pours and the water mist flies like powder, filling the valley. Legend has it that the locals used the waterfall to push the water to make "fragrant powder" (a kind of tree on the mountain was processed into powder, which is now used as a raw material for making mosquito repellents), hence the name "Fragrant Powder Waterfall". Hot spring water Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, many springs naturally gushed out of hot water on both sides of the Wenquan Liuxi River. The large amount of water formed hot water ponds (today's Liuchunting Datang). The hot springs gushed out on the beach on the northeast side of the river to form "hot sand" . The hot spring water is hot to the touch, and the locals call it "Tangquan", which is used for washing and bathing. In 1960, the mineral water team of the Hydrogeology Team of the Guangdong Provincial Bureau of Geology conducted a scientific appraisal of the hot spring water quality and confirmed that the hot spring hot water is rare and precious radon-containing mineral hot water. The water quality is crystal clear, colorless and odorless. The main ingredients of hot springs contain more than 10 elements such as silica, radon, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, ammonium, chlorine, and fluorine. This hot spring water has important medical value and has auxiliary effects on more than 30 diseases such as skin diseases, frozen shoulder, lumbar muscle strain, and arthritis. There are 10 hot water springs that have been developed and utilized in the hot spring scenic area, with an average daily self-flow of about 1,400 cubic meters and a maximum daily flow of 3,000 cubic meters. 27 units in the scenic area have used hot spring hot water. The main cultural landscapes of hot springs include Didui Pavilion, Liuchun Pavilion, Qingyin Pavilion, Bilang Bridge, Hot Spring Lake, Tianhu Lake, Tianyi Office, Waterfall Pavilion, etc.
Dicui Pavilion is located on the left side of Bilang Bridge in Hexi Province. It has red and green tiles and stands on the bank of Liuxi River. This pavilion was built in the 1930s and was originally called "Yingsheng Pavilion". Several natural yellow wax stones are used as tables and chairs in the pavilion. There are several tall maple trees on both sides. In spring, the green leaves are like a cover, and the spring rain is hanging on them, making them green and green. In 1961, the famous poet Guo Moruo admired the scenery in the pavilion and expressed his feelings, and named it "Dicui Pavilion".
Liu Chunting is located in the central area of ??Hedong. This was originally a fish pond. In 1958, a low flower wall was built around it to form a small round lake. There are two hot springs in the lake. A circular platform was built on one, and an elegant four-cornered pavilion was built on the other spring. The green Glazed tile roofs, connected by curved bridges. There are villas on the lakeshore, with red walls and green tiles, blue sky and green trees, reflected in the water, and the spring scenery is always there. In January 1964, Qi Yan inscribed the name "Liu Chun Pavilion".
Qingyin Pavilion is located at the southwestern end of the river, on the bank of Liuxi River, at the intersection of climbing mountains and watching waterfalls at Tianhu Lake. In the 1930s, a pavilion made of bamboo and wood was built here, named "Erli Pavilion" (now destroyed). In 1957, a hexagonal pavilion was rebuilt here, with railings and chairs built around it and light yellow smooth wax stone in the middle. The water in the lake in front of the pavilion is clear and the breeze is blowing in the pavilion. Visitors who climb mountains and watch waterfalls can take a rest in the pavilion. In February 1963, Dong Biwu named the pavilion "Qingyin Pavilion".
Bilang Bridge is located in the central area of ??the scenic spot, spanning both sides of the Liuxi River. Built in 1960, it is 80 meters long and 8 meters wide. It is a stone arch bridge. The blue waves are rippling under the bridge. Looking out from the railing, the landscape is the same color. There are schools of fish downstream of the bridge, and the sun is shining. At night, when the lanterns are turned on, the lights and shadows in the water are colorful. In 1961, Guo Moruo named the bridge "Bilang Bridge".
Hot Spring Lake was built in 1960. After the dam was built in Shagang, the water level was raised, forming a lake with a radius of several hundred meters, adding to the beauty of the scenic spot. In summer, the golden beaches and clear lake water attract people to swim and play, and laughter and laughter fill the lake. In the early days of the lake's establishment, there were also a number of colorful yachts here. Visitors could row boats to roam the lake and enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of the hot springs.
Tianhu Lake is located on Toujia Mountain at the top of the waterfall. It was built in 1972 and was one of the five water conservancy projects in Conghua County at that time.
Because it was built on a high mountain with "a hundred feet of flying waves leaking into the sky", it was named "Tianhu", which means a lake in the sky. Tianhu Lake has an area of ??nearly 1 square kilometers, a length of 7 kilometers, and a water storage capacity of 10.34 million cubic meters. There is a lake center pavilion built in the lake. There is a fairy pool under the dam, in which there is a fairy statue sculpted by Guangzhou sculptor Tang Daxi. The fairy stands on the lotus platform with her feet and lightly lifts her clothes with one hand. She is lifelike and floats in the pool, wanting to play in the water. Under the fairy pool is the famous hot spring waterfall. There are also speed boats for lake tours in Tianhu. People can take speed boats to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.
Heavenly Medicine Office is located about 400 meters behind the Songyuan Restaurant (local name is Wukuai Tianzi). The mountains and streams here are gurgling, the trees are quiet and the cicadas are chirping, and the environment is quiet. There is a natural boulder by the stream, 4 meters long and 3 meters high, with a flat front. On it is engraved the words "Heavenly Doctor" in three big words, and below is the inscription "Those who have diseases that cannot be cured by medicine, but who need heavenly medicine, will never die." This is so confusing. Living in the polluted air every day, the disease will be cured quickly, and the medical treatment will be more urgent at night, and the medicine will be mixed with Chinese and Western medicines. In the end, some people will not die from the disease, but die from the medicine. Liang Ke lamented that he advocated the establishment of a branch garden. How can we love the tranquility and tranquility of this place, which is suitable for living and living, and the environment is suitable for treatment. Anyone who comes to live here agrees with this view, but still tells me about it, so that he can be seen in the future, so that he can have perseverance to accept the king's way. It is also the meaning of the ancient motto that the first courtyard was completed in January of the 26th year of the Republic of China, and Liang Peiji of Shunde also inscribed it as proof. Liang Peiji advocated "heavenly medicine" and used a quiet environment to treat certain diseases. Mr. Liang identified the treasure land of hot springs, with quiet mountains and dense forests, elegant environment, and hot springs, which was suitable for health care, so he built a health care branch in Songyuan.
Guanpu Pavilion is located halfway up the mountain on the mountaineering road to Tianhu, nestled in the pine forest beside the road. A waterfall viewing pavilion was built here in the 1950s, but it was later abandoned for the construction of Tianhu Lake. Rebuilt in 1985. The pavilion is rectangular, surrounded by railings and stone chairs, with ocher glazed tiles as the roof. A plaque titled "Waterfall Pavilion" inscribed by Liang Lingguang is hung inside the pavilion. Visitors can have a panoramic view of the waterfall in the pavilion and enjoy the scene of "a hundred feet of flying waves leaking into the sky".
