Near the springs of Tangshan Hot Springs, people can see many well-crystallized natural minerals. There are rhombic calcite in white, light yellow and gray, and cubic or octahedral fluorite in light yellow, light green and lavender. These two minerals are sediments brought to the ground by hot spring water and are called "spring flowers". Beautiful and colorful spring flowers are the condensation of nature's life and can arouse people's whimsy.
Since the Southern Dynasties, dignitaries and literati have come here to visit and bathe.
According to legend, during the period of Xiao Liang in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a queen mother cured her skin disease and was sealed as a holy spring by the emperor.
It is said that during the Dezong period in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Zhejiang observer named Han Wei. His daughter got a "serious illness" and sought medical treatment everywhere, but none recovered. Later, I heard that Tang Shanquan could cure her, so I sent my daughter to Tangshan for a bath. Sure enough, she was cured soon.
To this end, he used his daughter's dowry to build the "Tang Sheng Xiang Yan Temple" (commonly known as Wangtang Temple) here.
In the early years of the Republic of China, a large number of dignitaries built hot spring villas here, among which Jiangning celebrity pottery was the most famous, 19 19. 1927, Tao gave "Lu Tao" as a gift to the Chiang couple.

● Diet and specialties
1, Tangshan Town is not famous for its food, but there are many restaurants in the town. The local dishes are brine chicken, salted goose and red meat, which are actually not bad!
2. Tangshan salted chicken is a local product strongly recommended by local people. It's delicious and delicious, but it's hard to buy in town. Upon inquiry, there is a Tangshan Bangui factory near the expressway, which can be purchased directly from home.
The following is my diet strategy:
There is nothing wrong with Tangshan's local specialties. Find a clean restaurant to eat Tujia food. Tangshan Banji should be very famous. 20 yuan is about a kilo of money, which can be eaten in class or taken out and vacuum packed. The local food is very cheap, and 20 yuan per capita should be very good.
In the hot spring resort, you can taste authentic Huaiyang cuisine, and the price is of course some grades.
The snack bar "Tofu Shop" in Ming Culture Village, all kinds of dried fennel and stinky tofu taste good. There is a "Yangshan Restaurant" outside the Ming Culture Village, which combines Nanjing cuisine with North and South flavors, and Tangshan local game can be tasted. The most distinctive is the fish head of Tangquan Lake. You can enjoy a steaming "fish head soup" in winter, but you must make an appointment in advance.
Nanjing snacks have a long history and a wide variety, with more than 80 varieties since the Six Dynasties. Famous snacks are well-made, sweet and salty, and have different shapes. Qinhuai snack in Nanjing Confucius Temple is one of the four snack groups in China. Teahouses and restaurants in the Confucius Temple area are full of street snacks, forming a food concentration area with unique traditional characteristics of Qinhuai. Among them, eight sets of famous Qinhuai snacks, such as "Eight Unique Qinhuai Snacks", are famous for their fine craftsmanship, beautiful shape, exquisite materials and unique flavor. Eight unique:

Tangshan Hot Springs 70 years ago
In the bleak winter, the trees wither, and in front of several blue-gray brick houses, a pool of hot springs emits white fog. An old photo newly collected by Changping District Archives vividly reproduces the historical features of Tangshan Hot Springs more than 70 years ago. It is understood that this is also the earliest Tangshan hot spring photo collected by the archives so far.
This old photo was collected from a Chinese-Japanese friendly person and was taken in the 1930s. According to the Japanese annotation in the photo, the hot spring is an octagonal bath with a length of 160 feet (about 53 meters). There is also such a description in the photo annotation: "Soaking in the rising hot air seems to reveal the illusion of the ancient country, while the remaining stone steps remind people of the luxurious and magnificent picture scroll when the emperor came to bathe."
Tang Chi in the photo is what the common people called "octagonal glazed well". "The temperature in Tang Chi is very high. Eggs can be cooked quickly when put in, which is called' boiling spring'. There is also a main spring about 3 meters east, called' hot spring', with moderate temperature. "
