Live Your Best Lives
Huaitai Well, located on the right bank of the Zaotang River in Rehai, is also known as Longfeng Well. It consists of two springs at the same level, with a water temperature of 88°C and a flow rate of 0.02 L/s. Twelve stone balustrades are engraved with the twelve Chinese zodiac animals. Its water, rich in trace elements and radon, regulates nervous system excitation, inhibits psychological imbalance, promotes metabolism, dilates blood vessels, and regulates endocrine function, earning it the reputation of a "miracle remedy."
Attraction Location: Rehai Geothermal Scenic Area, Qingshui Village (清水乡), Tengchong County, Baoshan (保山腾冲). The Pregnancy Well (怀胎井 / Huáitāi Jǐng) sits on the right bank of the Zǎotáng River inside the Rehai hot-spring circuit. (Rehai / 热海景区, 腾冲清水乡) .
What it is (short): The “Pregnancy Well” is actually two neighboring geothermal spring openings — traditionally called the Dragon Well (龙井) and Phoenix Well (凤井). Locals and visitors long told tales that drinking the spring water can help fertility, so it’s known locally as a “pregnancy” or “fertility” spring. The wells are rimmed by carved stone blocks (12 zodiac designs) and sit among many other hot springs and vents in the Rehai loop.
History / Natural origin: Rehai (literally “Hot Sea”) is one of China’s important geothermal areas; the scenic loop has over 80 hot springs and gas vents produced by volcanic/geothermal activity. The Pregnancy Well is a natural geothermal spring — its reputation comes from local folklore and the long history of therapeutic use of mineral/thermal waters here rather than scientific proof of fertility effects. The Rehai area and its named springs (Big Boiling Pot / 大滚锅, Pearl Spring / 珍珠泉, Drum Spring / 鼓鸣泉, Spectacle Spring / 眼镜泉) have been described in local records and promoted as a key geothermal tourism site.
“Architecture” / Appearance: The Pregnancy Well is not a man-made building but two small spring mouths set along the boardwalk; the stone well rims and the carved 12-zodiac panels around the rims are the main human-made features. The wells sit inside the scenic area’s wooden boardwalk and viewing platforms; you approach along a ring trail that threads past many other springs and fumaroles.
Cultural value / folklore: Locally the well is nicknamed a “gift of nature” and often called the “send-child Guanyin” in tourist copy because of the fertility legend: many older visitors say women who drank (or merely visited) had children afterward. In addition to folklore, the spring water is touted in park literature for containing minerals and trace elements, which local sources claim are helpful for metabolism and endocrine balance — again, these are traditional/marketing claims rather than verified medical endorsements.
Other notes: The Pregnancy Well is visited as part of the Rehai circular trail (the Rehai sightseeing loop). Because the whole area is geothermally active, there are strong sulfur smells, hot steam and dangerously hot pools — touching the water is unsafe.
Opening Hours: Rehai Scenic Area is open year-round; commonly published park hours are approximately 08:00–19:00 / 08:00–20:00 (admission/ticket sales usually stop ~1 hour before closing). Individual online guides give small variations (some list 7:30–19:00 or 08:00–20:00). Best practice: check the park phone (+86-875-5133333) or ticketing page for the day you travel.
Ticket price: Standard park admission is commonly published as ¥50 (adult); half-price concessions for children / seniors / students often apply (e.g., ~¥25). There are many package options (park + shuttle / park + hot-spring bath / park + meal) that raise the combined price (examples of packages range from ~¥65 to ¥268 depending on inclusions). Always confirm current price before purchase.
Recommended visiting time / length: Plan 1.5–4 hours to walk the Rehai boardwalk, see the Big Boiling Pot (大滚锅), Pregnancy Well (怀胎井), Pearl Spring (珍珠泉) and a few bathing/spa areas. Recommended sightseeing time on many guides is 2–4 hours.
Best photo spots (for Pregnancy Well & Rehai loop):
• The wooden boardwalk above the boiling pools (wide steam views).
• The Big Boiling Pot (大滚锅 / Dà Gǔn Guō) — dramatic boiling surface and steam clouds.
• Pearl Spring (珍珠泉 / Zhēnzhū Quán) — the heart-shaped pool with many small bubble vents (photogenic at sunrise/early morning).
• The Viewing platform near the Pregnancy Well (怀胎井 / Huáitāi Jǐng) — the carved zodiac rim makes for detail shots. Early morning or late afternoon gives less crowd and softer light. Avoid walking into steam plumes for safety/visibility.
Time reference / best season: Rehai is open year-round. Late autumn and winter (Nov–Feb) can be especially atmospheric because the colder air makes the steam more photogenic; summer is lush but hotter. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable for walking. The park is often busier on Chinese public holidays.
Safety & health notes: Do NOT touch or enter the boiling pools — temperatures often exceed 80–90°C. Follow boardwalk signs and barriers. People with respiratory sensitivity should be aware of strong sulfur fumes. The pregnancy-help claims are folklore; consult a doctor for medical advice.

It is said that drinking the water from Atami's pregnancy well will lead to pregnancy.
It smelled like rotten egg water, so I drank a little with a skeptical attitude.
The Pregnancy Well is one of many springs, and few gentlemen go near it. Does it have the same effect as the "Mother and Child River" in Journey to the West?
The Pregnancy Well, also known as the Dragon and Phoenix Well, originates from a beautiful legend claiming the water brings children. It consists of two springs at the same level, with a water temperature of 88°C. Twelve stone railings are engraved with the 12 Chinese zodiac animals. The water is rich in trace elements, promoting metabolism and regulating endocrine function. It is particularly effective for menstrual disorders and endocrine disorders, often bringing relief to infertile women. It is known as nature's fertility-giving Guanyin.
It's quite unique and it's said to be effective. I couldn't help but drink a cup, haha
Can regulate endocrine system for women with irregular menstruation
In the Atami scenic area, hot springs can be seen gushing everywhere.
The water in the pregnancy well is 98 degrees on the left and 96 degrees on the right. The staff said that the well water can be drunk directly. I filled a bottle, cooled it and tasted it. It tasted like water for boiled eggs.
Visitors can drink the water at the Pregnancy Well, and many bring their own bottles to take home. What does it taste like? A faint smell of rotten eggs (sulfur dioxide). What are its benefits? The trace elements only take effect after long-term drinking. Don't think even a man can get pregnant just by drinking it.
It is said that drinking it will lead to pregnancy. There are two sips in total. It is said that drinking the left one will lead to a boy, and drinking the right one will lead to a girl. I didn't dare to drink it.
There is a hot spring in the Atami scenic area with an interesting name. It is said that the well water is particularly good for regulating women's bodies.
A small attraction in Atami Park, if you want to have a baby, go there, hahaha
There are two wells in the Atami scenic area, and the spring water is very hot. As for the pregnancy, it is a beautiful legend.
It is said that those who are ready to have a child can get pregnant by drinking a mouthful of well water.
It smells like sulfur, but it's really hot. Many colleagues who are trying to have children have also drunk it, hahaha
It is said that drinking the well water here can help you get pregnant, but unfortunately I am a man.
The Pregnancy Well, as its name suggests, possesses remarkable properties. The scientific basis for this claim is that it contains a variety of mineral elements, has a pH of 9.0, and can regulate the body's endocrine system. Nearby, a small bamboo tube is where curious visitors, young and old, draw water to drink. The water is 88 degrees Celsius, so I filled a cup and slowly drank it, feeling incredibly soothed.
The water in this well is very clear and the temperature doesn’t seem too high. I heard that there is a beautiful legend about this well.
Yunnan, Tengchong, Rehai Scenic Area, Rehai Pregnancy Well.
Legend has it that one can become pregnant by bathing in this hot spring, making it a great place to treat infertility.
The legendary Pregnancy Well in the Kingdom of Women has a pattern of women's buttocks.
This is a place that people who hope to have children must go to. As for how effective it is, I don’t know.
If you want to have children, you can try it. The water contains many minerals, which are beneficial to the human body.
Huaitai Well is one of the many springs in Tengchong Rehai Hot Spring Scenic Area.
The only hot spring you can drink. I don’t know if I’ll get pregnant if I drink it, haha.
A scenic spot in Atami Scenic Area, it is said that if you get wet in the water, you will get pregnant.
Pregnancy well commemoration, brotherhood. Hmm, the one with the advantage of belly, what do you think?
I forgot to bring a kettle to fill it with TT, so I'll have to go later. It has a psychological balance and nerve excitement effect, so it should help with sleep. The water is very hot, so be careful.
There are many small attractions along the way in Atami, and this is one of the more impressive ones.
A well located in the Atami scenic area is said to have helped women who were previously unable to conceive become pregnant by drinking water from it, hence the name.
After drinking it, it has a strong sulfur smell. I don’t know if I will get pregnant, hahaha!
I don’t know if it’s effective, but the meaning is very good.
Rehai Huaitai Well is the name of a scenic spot in Tengchong Rehai Scenic Area.
The well is said to be very effective in inducing pregnancy, but you have to pay to drink the water. There are paper cups for sale near the well, which are very expensive. They also sell boiled eggs.
I don't know if it's true or not, the wish is beautiful, not to mention the scenery is average, but the legend is enough.
Atami's Kaitai-i is a popular spot for tourists to try. Actually, the taste isn't great, and many people simply try it because they see it's from Kaitai-i, without understanding the specifics of how to drink it, so it can be a bit confusing. However, if you take a guide and read the signage carefully, it's still a great spot.
How to say it, it is a steaming well.
A geothermal hot spring attraction with a story...
The water at the Pregnancy Well is said to help you conceive a boy. There are two wells, each with hot springs. There are bamboo ladles to scoop up the water for washing hands or taking it away. There's a small stone mill near the well, probably for cooling down. The water is quite hot, and someone with thin skin like me couldn't handle it. This spot is inside the Atami scenic area, halfway up the mountain. You have to go up before you reach the Atami Hot Pot, Pearl Spring, and Sister Springs to see the Pregnancy Well. You'll definitely see it if you continue up.
An attraction on the way to the Hot Sea Hot Pot feels unremarkable
It should be the smell of sulfur, very strong. It is not possible to get pregnant by drinking it, but it is still good for the body. If you have a glass bottle, I suggest you scoop some away. Forget about mineral water bottles, plastic ones are not safe. Be careful not to burn your mouth when drinking
I drank it but I am not pregnant, I am a man
There is a story in it. A small attraction.
The more famous well in the park, as the name suggests, specializes in treating infertility, haha. In fact, these are all legends. There are two wells because of this. Legends say that drinking different waters can give birth to sons and daughters respectively. It's like my friend said that eating onions will give birth to sons, and eating fish will also give birth to sons. These are legends to make everyone happy. But the strange thing is that these two wells used to be clear. Due to the Tengchong earthquake many years ago, one well is now clear and the other well is milky white. It is said that experts have not found the reason. I got some water to drink, and it didn't taste good. I could only say that I tried it. It had a faint smell of sulfur and a bit like the taste of water used to boil eggs in plain water. It didn't taste good.
There are only two wells, and I don’t know if they are real or not. Anyway, I encourage the men in my group to try it(^_^)
It is a scenic spot in Tengchong Rehai Scenic Area. It is said that drinking the water from the well can make you pregnant.

Its water, rich in trace elements and radon, regulates nervous system excitation, inhibits psychological imbalance, promotes metabolism, dilates blood vessels, and regulates endocrine function, earning it the reputation of a "miracle remedy."
It may be just a beautiful vision to say that you can get pregnant. Everyone who comes here is interested in having a taste.
Hahaha, the name sounds very funny. At that time, my same-sex friend drank a sip of water from the Pregnancy Well and made an advertisement saying: Pregnancy Well is good! It was so funny.
I took a sip of the water, it was a bit salty, I don't know what it tasted like
There are two wells in Rehai Huaitai Well, one on the left and one on the right. There is a pattern carved on the ground between the two wells. I looked at it for a long time but couldn’t figure out what it was.
The name sounds like an interesting hot spring, why not give it a try?
As for its name, forget about it. All I can say is that it is spectacular and magical.
It’s a beautiful legend, but now many people boil eggs in wells.
A more interesting place, the original hot springs look like this.
Pretty good geological geothermal landscape, very educational.
It is said that drinking the spring water here can help you get pregnant. It seems to be more effective than the water of the Mother and Child River in Journey to the West?
Those who want to have children can try this: boys on the left and girls on the right. Atami is worth a visit. If you have money, you can come here to enjoy the hot springs or soak your feet in the water from the big boiling pot of Atami.
Yes, it is this Pregnancy Well. Many people come here to drink. In fact, besides the smell of sulfur, it also tastes like boiled eggs. . . .
Be sure to bring a cup and try the water from the Pregnancy Well. The water temperature is also very high, so be careful to burn your hands. After tasting it, everyone said it tasted like boiled eggs. In short, it was not very tasty.
I brought a water cup with me to fill it up. People said, "Why does it smell like boiled eggs?" I don't know, but I thought it was fun. The water temperature was really high, and it was quite hot to hold the cup.
Personally, I think the Pregnancy Spring is also very legendary. Out of sheer curiosity, my sisters and I all filled a large cup to drink.
There are two pregnancy wells, one for giving birth to boys and the other for giving birth to girls. But don't drink too much, it has a sulfur smell and feels a bit smelly. The cleaning lady said that drinking too much is not good.
The left one is the boy's well, which is a little boiling, and the right one is the girl's well, which is slightly cooler and not boiling. Is this a match made in heaven?
Hahahaha, this is such a lovely point. Almost everyone’s first reaction after seeing the introduction is to drink a sip of the water in it, regardless of gender.
This is the package at the entrance to Atami. I even drank the pregnancy water. Haha, it tastes a bit weird. You can see Bijindani Onsen from here.
Rehai, the representative of Tengchong's hot springs, is the oldest Tengchong hot spring resort and boasts the largest concentration of hot spring resources. It's currently undergoing continuous development, with a growing number of attractions. If you're visiting Tengchong, this is a great place to visit. The origin of the Pregnancy Well is said to be that drinking the water from it will lead to pregnancy... When I heard this legend as a child, I kind of believed it...
It's just a legend. If there really is infertility, then the place would be extremely crowded. Nowadays, food and air are the main culprits.
Tengchong is home to my country's famous volcanoes and hot springs. Huaitai Well, also known as Longfeng Well, is located on the right bank of Zaotang River in Rehai. It consists of two springs at the same level. The water has a temperature of 88°C and a flow rate of 0.02 L/s. It's drinkable!
If you walk down from the big boiling pot, you will see the pregnancy well. The temperature is also very high and it is always boiling.
There are two pregnancy wells. It is said that the water in the two wells is different, one is for giving birth to boys and the other is for giving birth to girls.
The water here is not very hot. It is said that drinking this water can help you get pregnant. I don’t know if it’s true or not. It doesn’t look very clean, so I didn’t dare to drink it.
Now that we are in Tengchong, we should visit all the attractions and make the trip more interesting by reading some local legends.
The Pregnancy Well is said to be able to treat female infertility and gynecological diseases. Out of curiosity, I also drank a cup of hot spring water. It had a smell of sulfur. Maybe the spring water contains a lot of minerals, which is why it can cure diseases.
Pregnancy Well,
It comes from a beautiful legend.
Leaving behind a tourist attraction,
Appreciate the well can,
It takes courage to taste water.
