brief introduction

Guanziling hot spring was developed very early. As early as the period of Japanese occupation, it was one of the four hot springs in Taiwan, along with sizhongxi, Beitou and Yangmingshan. Surrounded by pillow mountain, Hutou mountain and other peaks. Guanziling hot spring is characterized by black muddy spring water, rich in minerals. However, it is incorrect for some journals to claim that it is the only three mud hot springs in the world.

The pronunciation of "Gao" (Colloquial: kocirc; an) in Taiwan dialect is close to "Kuan" (Kuan), and the pronunciation of "An Na Ni á" (kocirc; an Na Ni á) in Taiwan dialect is actually a mistake of Gaoling.

General situation

At the West foot of the main hill of guanziling, there is a magnificent and magnificent temple, which is the Daxian temple, the Buddhist cultural center of Tainan. The main hall of the temple is the center, followed by Guanyin hall, Sanbao hall and dicangbao hall. On both sides of the temple are anshou hall, Yanshou hall, monk's house and guest house, with balanced and solemn structure. In the back of the temple, there are green bamboos, old trees, stone chairs, stone tables, etc., which are well arranged, quiet and refined. There are also cool caves, Wangyuan Pavilion, etc. There are Japanese Amitabha Buddha and Indian white jade Buddha in the temple, and a colorful gratitude tower is built outside the mountain gate. The layout of the temple is rigorous, covering a large area, and the temple is no less grand than Yongquan temple in Gushan, Fuzhou, which is also rare in Taiwan.

Zhenguangshan is named for its pillow like shape. There is a huge stone on the mountain, weighing several tons, floating on the top of the mountain. Looking up from the bottom of the mountain, it seems to be crumbling, but it has been standing high in the wind for thousands of years, like a giant god guarding the pillow mountain. The local people regard it as a spiritual wind moving stone.

At the foot of the southeast of zhentou mountain, there is a rare natural wonder in the world - the same origin of water and fire. It was a gurgling spring gushing out of the rocks at the foot of the mountain, converging into a pool of clear water. Bubbles constantly emerged at the bottom of the pool, rising and burning into flames, more than Zhang high. Since the discovery of Fujian monk shenche in 1701 (the 40th year of Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty), for more than 290 years, there has been a continuous flow of sweet springs and flames. The kindling in the water is burning, but it is smokeless and odorless. The water in the pool is boiling, but it is pure and sweet. As the saying goes, "water and fire are incompatible", here is the coexistence of water and fire, compatibility and mutual aid, which is amazing.

At first, guanziling was famous for its hot springs. Together with Yangmingshan in Taipei, the north pole and sizhongxi in Pingtung, it was called the four hot springs in Taiwan Province. The spring eye comes from the left bank of gunshui river at the northern foot of guanziling mountain. There are two kinds of springs: clear spring and turbid spring. The temperature of turbid spring is about 80 ℃, which belongs to salt carbonated spring. It is milky white. After bathing, the skin is as smooth as fat. It can treat skin diseases, neuralgia and other diseases. It was once known as "Xiannai spring"; the temperature of clear spring is about 50 ℃, and the water is clear and drinkable, which can treat gastrointestinal diseases. Because of the high medical value of guanziling hot spring and the pleasant scenery around it, there is a red leaf park on the top of the mountain. In late autumn, the mountains and valleys are full of bright red. Therefore, tourists come to bathe and enjoy the scenery all the year round.

Three hot spring areas

summary

Guanziling hot spring scenic spot is the top hot spring scenic spot in Taiwan. It is 12 kilometers away from Tainan City and is located in guanziling town at the foot of Yangming Mountain. On three sides, there are Datun, Qixing and Shamao peaks. On the south side, Tanshui River is winding like a belt. There are many hot springs here. The unique hot spring hotel is located on the first floor of five steps and the first Pavilion of ten steps, looming between the streams of the rock valley.

There are three hot spring areas in guanziling: guanziling, Yangmingshan and Jinshan. These three hot springs have their own characteristics.

Guanziling hot spring

The water color of guanziling hot spring is white, with a certain amount of powder gas; Yangmingshan hot spring is dark green, with a strong smell of sulfur; Jinshan hot spring is clear, which can be bathed or drunk. Guanziling is the largest hot spring area in Datun Renshan hot spring area. The Datun volcano group is composed of more than ten dead volcanoes, such as Datun mountain, Qixing mountain, Zhuzhu mountain, neiliao mountain, and suzui mountain. The altitude is about 1000 meters, and it is located in the north of Tainan City. The hot springs in Datun volcanic area are distributed along the Jinshan fault (formerly known as Xinzhuang fault) in Northeast southwest direction. Between guanziling and Jinshan, there are 13 hot springs in a narrow area about 18 km long and 3 km wide, which is one of the famous volcanic hot springs in China. There are xinguanziling, dashunzui, Dazhuang (Houshan Park), Yangmingshan, Zhuzhu lake, xiaoyoukeng, mangao, sanchongqiao, dayoukeng and other hot springs.

Datun volcano hot spring area is densely covered with springs, ranking the first in the country. There are as many as 20 or 30 hot spring sources. Not only the density per unit area is high, but the temperature of spring water is high, and the temperature of air vent or sulfur pore can reach above 100 ℃. Hot springs are mostly acidic salt springs, and there is a bad smell of hydrogen sulfide gas. As early as more than 200 years ago, guanziling was a barren slope with few people. Only some villages of Gaoshan people were scattered. Although sulfur has been found here, it has not been developed. In 1698, Yu Yonghe, a native of Zhejiang Province, came to guanziling to collect sulfur. Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here, he wrote a tour to the sea, which gives a very detailed description of the scenery here. After that, guanziling was developed. With the development of tourism, the use of hot springs, until it has become a famous resort, is only nearly 60 years.

There are three types of spring sources in guanziling hot spring area: one is pure earth spring, which is colorless, transparent and slightly sour. The spring temperature is 59 ℃. It is called "tietang", because the spring water is mixed with reddish brown sediment, so it is named. In fact, the "iron soup" itself is transparent, colorless and odorless. People suffering from neuralgia and gastrointestinal diseases are suitable for bathing in pure native hot springs. The second is acid alum spring, which is colorless, tasteless and transparent liquid, slightly acidic. The spring temperature is 65 ℃, commonly known as "Longtang". Frequent bathing can treat persistent diseases such as scabies and ulcers. The third is acidic fluid hydrogen spring. The water is turbid and white with a slight sulfur smell. The spring temperature is 48 ℃, commonly known as "fishy soup". People suffering from skin diseases and gynecological diseases can bathe in acidic hydrogen sulfide spring. "Tieyang", "Longtang" and "fishy soup" have their own curative effects on people with different diseases.

Yangmingshan hot spring

Yangmingshan hot spring gushes out from the foot of Qixing mountain. It is a pure hydrogen sulfide spring with a large amount of water and overflows into a stream. People call it the sister spring of guanziling. It has beautiful scenery. In spring, cherry blossoms are gorgeous, rhododendrons are red. In summer, the wind is blowing and the pines are surging. It is a summer resort.

The hot spring pool in guanziling park is surrounded by winding paths and dotted with pavilions and bridges. The scenery is exquisite and fascinating. There is a small yellow waterfall in the north corner of the park. Interestingly, the waterfall is warm, so it is called guanziling waterfall. Along the quiet path on the left side of the road uphill, about half an hour, "dungeoning Valley" three characters impressively. This is the birthplace of many hot spring streams in guanziling. Hell Valley is slightly oval, covering an area of about 30-40 mu. The bottom of the valley is densely covered with spring holes. The big ones are like palms, and the small ones are like beads. Hot water gushes out all the year round, and over time, it becomes a hot water lake. The lake occasionally emits white smoke more than ten feet high, and the sulfur gas is transpiration, which is like clouds and fog, burning hot, and the spring temperature is as high as 90 ℃. In order to increase the pleasure of traveling, put the raw eggs in the flowing hot spring water and cook them in 15 minutes. Eat in the mouth, there is a faint smell of sulfur.

"Digaogu" Valley back between the mountains, verdant trees, boiling hot spring water gushing from the stone. It's smoky all day long, giving people a sense of ethereal mystery. Once in a while a breeze blows, people can have a glimpse of the true beauty of Lushan.

When night fell, the whole dungeon valley was shrouded in a mist, which was both charming and terrifying. It is said that a tourist once fell into a hot water lake and burned to death. The name of "dungeoning Valley" was spread. Later, the relevant authorities found his name indecent and changed it to "yuquangu". However, they did not call it up. "Digaogu" has long been "famous".

From guanziling, take the train southward to Shilin District. You can transfer the bus to visit zhishanyan and the Palace Museum. Zhishanyan is located on an isolated mountain at the intersection of Shuangxi and Yangmingshan in Shilin District, Tainan, with an altitude of about 50 meters. Outwardly, it is not connected with the Datun mountains, but in fact, it comes down in one continuous line with xiazhulin mountain and bazipu mountain. The rock walls around Zhishan rock are vertical and straight, which is very tall and straight. The nearby trees are towering, and the environment is very quiet. It is said that there is a famous Zhishan mountain in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. After the immigrants from Zhangzhou crossed the sea and came here, they often went to this mountain to look far away because they missed their native land in the mainland. Later, they named it after the famous mountain in their hometown.

Many tourists like to visit ancient times in zhishanyan, looking for historical sites to develop Tainan. As early as the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhangzhou people from the coast of Fujian Province came to the Shipai area for reclamation, and gradually expanded to the Shilin and zhishanyan areas. At that time, people were striving for divine protection, so they chose the beautiful and green area of Yuanshanzi zhishanyan as the place to build temples. In the 17th year of Qianlong, Kaizhang Shengwang temple was built to honor Chen Yuanguang, the patron saint of Zhangzhou. Later, bell tower and drum tower were built, which was called Huiji palace. To this day, Huiji palace is still well preserved and has become a museum
