Therefore, the surrounding famous hot spring baths, such as Jiuzhaigou, Gulgou and Hailuogou, are always crowded with Chengdu people who used to soak in hot springs, while the nearby Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Wenjiang and Dayi are usually crowded at weekends.
Many people have soaked in hot springs, but some people don't know that they may have soaked in fake hot springs-it's no different from taking a hot bath at home.
A few days ago, two businesses in Dayi County were investigated and dealt with by relevant units for claiming to be "hot springs".
According to media reports, a nursing center in Dayi County provides tourists with the so-called "Quanming Yangshengtang" hot spring bathing service, claiming that it can "treat dry and itchy skin, treat dermatitis and allergic symptoms in summer and winter, and enhance people's cold tolerance and immunity". The fantastic publicity has really attracted many foreign tourists to take a bath.
As a result, after investigation by law enforcement officers, it was discovered that this so-called "hot spring" was actually artificially heated and boiled hot water, not underground hot spring water at all, nor was it as magical as advertised.
Tourists who come here to soak in "hot springs" pay "IQ tax" for no reason, and many people may even be in the dark until now.
So is the Tang Chi we went to soak in "hot spring water"? Cann't you listen to the merchant's bluff?
Although it is still difficult for ordinary people who lack professional knowledge to distinguish hot spring water from ordinary "boiled water", they can still distinguish true and false "hot spring water" by mastering the following points.
First of all, look at qualifications and licenses. Most regular hot spring commercial enterprises will have appraisal certificates, or geothermal water intake licenses, geothermal water exploitation licenses and other related licenses.
Secondly, you can ask the merchant where the spring of the hot spring is. Where there are hot springs, there must be springs. It's much more reliable to see the spring eyes with your own eyes. If the merchant can't answer, or just point to a place dozens of kilometers away, it is estimated that it will be a bit hanging.
Finally, we can judge from the various textures of water. Generally speaking, hot spring water contains more minerals and the water quality is hard, so it feels much smoother than ordinary water. Especially if the water contains minerals such as sulfur, it will have a faint smell of rotten eggs.
Because there are many minerals in the water, the buoyancy of hot spring water is much greater than that of ordinary water. When people soak in the hot spring pool, they will have an obvious feeling of floating upwards. Of course, friends with little water may find it difficult to feel such a difference.
You will feel very slippery after taking a shower (you won't use shower gel, will you? ), and the finger skin is not as wrinkled as it is usually soaked in water.
Of course, the above identification methods are relative and not absolutely established. If you want to soak in pure hot spring water, the most reliable thing is to find the local geological structure, make sure it is a formal commercial organization, can go out for hot springs, and have various qualifications and licenses.
