Tengchong Rehai is located 20 kilometers southwest of Tengchong County, covering an area of ​​about 9 square kilometers. There are more than 80 large gas springs and hot springs, 10 of which have water temperatures above 90°C. Hot springs can be seen gushing everywhere. There are many places with hot springs in the world, but it is rare to see such a large area and so many springs as Tengchong Rehai.

By Braised Egg Lady |

As the name suggests, the water in Atami is hot. It is said that the water flowing in the river can boil eggs. I haven't tried it, but even the waterfalls are steaming. There are many underground springs in the Atami scenic area. It is said that there are more than 80 hot springs, with the highest water temperature reaching 96 degrees. The most spectacular is the big boiling pot. The locals boil eggs and steam peanuts directly in the gap next to the steaming pot. The ticket is 60. You can stay in the scenic area at night and soak in the hot springs.

By dawnleave |

There are many hot springs of various sizes in the scenic area, each with its own characteristics, most of which are bubbling ones, which are very distinctive.

There is only one road in the scenic area, and the road signs are clear.

The Big Boiling Pot is a bit far from the other springs, and requires more than 10 minutes of climbing stairs;

A string of eggs outside the door costs 5 yuan, and a large boiling pot costs 10 yuan;

The eggs boiled in a large boiling pot are actually steamed, not touching the hot spring, and have two steamers;

In terms of transportation, Rehai is not far from the airport, and a taxi fare does not exceed 40 yuan. If you have little luggage like me or rent a car, it can be your first stop.

In the square of the ticket office, there were several old ladies selling eggs, which were strung together with straw. This is one of the 18 strange things in Yunnan: "eggs are sold in strings". I thought it was troublesome to carry them around the scenic area, so I took the sightseeing bus directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. As soon as I entered the scenic area, it was like stepping into a fairyland, steaming and filled with smoke and fog. I heard the roar of the waterfall, and sometimes there was a hissing eruption. I suddenly felt that the temperature in the scenic area was higher than outside, and the whole valley was filled with a strong smell of sulfur.

Going up along the road of the scenic area, there are more than a dozen hot spring viewing spots along the way, such as Pearl Spring, Sister Spring, Drum Spring, Pregnant Well, etc. There are introduction signs at each place, so I won’t go into details; the highest point is the big boiling pot. There are so many people here. Suddenly, I feel that the quality of the people has improved a lot. Everyone will consciously line up to take pictures, no longer fighting for each other in the past. In order to take care of the people queuing behind, I hurriedly took two pictures. Although the pictures are not good, at least there is a landscape photo that occupies the lens. I looked at the hot air coming out of the gaps in the floor tiles, and stupidly stepped on it, and immediately felt its temperature. Others steamed eggs, but I steamed "chicken feet".

If you are tired, you may want to stop and take a rest, eat two hot spring eggs, or soak your feet in the hot spring. The spring water is directly from a big boiling pot, or you can enjoy the benefits given by nature in the Yugu Hot Spring SPA.

When we arrived at Rehai, most people took the battery car to enter. We thought it was very far inside. Fortunately, we asked other people we met on the trip and decided to walk in! You can buy a string of eggs at the door and steam them in a big boiling pot! 5 yuan for 4 local aunts also braided them with straw ropes, which are very delicate!

After about 10 minutes of walking into the scenic area, you will reach the official gate! After entering the gate, there are mountains inside, which is really a different world! Waves of sulfur smell and hot air hit you in the face. After soaking in so many hot springs, this is the first time I have seen hot air and water directly gushing out from the ground in the mountains.

There are villas in the scenic area. We didn't check it before. The price should be relatively high. Friends who have the ability to travel by car can take a look! It is really original inside and the air is super good.

By Baby girl |

At the boss's suggestion, we finally chose Rehai. Both the water quality and the service are great. If time permits, you should really spend more time in Tengchong. This is a gift that is definitely worth it for you to enjoy life and the gifts of nature.

In Atami, after visiting the spectacular hot spring waterfalls and dozens of springs, it is a great experience to have a bag of steamed eggs in a big boiling pot. Soaking in the pure volcanic hot springs in Atami Beach can wipe away the fatigue of climbing.

Go to the restaurant to eat ~ Dumplings and other things are all frozen, to be honest, they are not delicious, but fortunately there is no limit on the three treasures of hot springs, eggs, peanuts and small potatoes. I personally like small potatoes very much. They are delicious and healthy when steamed ~

By Winnie_yun |

I bought eggs outside the door and brought them in. They were five yuan a bunch, but the price went up once I got in.

After entering the gate, you have to walk a long way to reach the scenic spot...

As we walked, we finally saw some smoke coming out of some places on the roadside. These are geothermal hot springs.

The water flowing out of these springs is over 90 degrees, very hot. Don't touch it with your hands, or you will burn your skin. This scene is strange and spectacular, with a scene filled with smoke and a strong smell of sulfur everywhere.

Atami is still worth visiting. The sulfur soap and volcanic mud handmade soap sold in the shops in the scenic area are also good. If you like them, you can take them. They are very useful. I regret not buying a few more.

Tengchong Hot Sea Scenic Area is about 10 kilometers away from Tengchong County and is the core component of the volcanic hot sea. The scenic area is located in the collision zone between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate. Due to the continuous release of heat energy by underground magma sac activities, it has formed one of the three major geothermal areas in China and is known as the "Natural Geothermal Museum". There are more than 80 gas springs and hot spring groups concentrated in the scenic area, of which 14 hot spring groups have water temperatures exceeding 90°C, with the highest reaching 102°C, and the daily water output reaches 3383.51 cubic meters. The spring quality is sodium bicarbonate type, rich in minerals, and has significant medical value. Its geothermal landscape covers six types: fumaroles, bubbling ground, hot boiling springs, fountains, hot water springs, and hydrothermal explosions. The big boiling pot is the most famous - the boiling spring is 3 meters in diameter and 1.5 meters deep. The water temperature is maintained at 96-97°C all year round. The boiling water is surging like a dragon's breath, steam is rising to the sky, and the sound is like thunder. There are also fantastic attractions such as the Pregnant Well, Spectacle Spring, and Pearl Spring in the scenic area: the water temperature of the Pregnant Well is 86℃, which is said to have special health-preserving effects; the Pearl Spring forms a string of beads due to the escape of bubbles; the Spectacle Spring is unique for its double spring eyes that resemble a frame. Tengchong Hot Spring has been known as "a hot sea" since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Watch the geothermal wonders and experience the "Eighteen Strange Things in Yunnan" such as selling eggs on a string and boiling eggs in boiling springs.

Rehai is not a sea, but a geothermal hot spring area. As soon as you get off the bus, you will be greeted by a strong smell of sulfur. Passing through a row of small shops at the entrance of the scenic area, along the way, there are aunties chasing you to buy eggs. The eggs are tied into a string with straw, and they cost 10 yuan each. It seems that if you don't buy a string and boil it in a big boiling pot, there will always be a lack of a sense of ritual.



A warm stream all year round runs through the entire valley, forming springs and pools of various sizes. Take a shuttle bus from the ticket office and go deeper into the valley. You can only see wisps of white smoke rising from the mountains, which is quite fairy-like.

As one of the three major geothermal areas in China, Rehai Scenic Area is the place with the most concentrated geothermal energy in Tengchong. This magical landscape is worth a visit, but whether or not to soak in the hot springs here depends on personal preference.

By Northwest Flowers |

Tengchong is one of the three major geothermal areas in my country, with more than 80 hot springs, and boiling springs are scattered all over the place, among which Rehai is the most representative. It is the second largest hot field in China, located in the Zaotang River Valley 12 kilometers south of Tengchong County. It consists of Rehai Stone, Dagunguo, Yugu, Huaitai Well, Pearl Spring, Beauty Pool, etc. The highest water temperature reaches 102 degrees. It is the best place for geothermal recuperation in China. The Rehai Scenic Area is centered on Huangguaqing, Zaotang River and Sulfur Pond. There are many gas springs and hot springs, among which the most spectacular is Dagunguo. The scenic area is not big, the mountain is not high, and people of all ages can visit it. Remember to steam a bunch of eggs or take a foot bath next to the Dagunguo.

Tourist buses are available at all tourist attractions in Tengchong. At the bus stop in front of the tourist bus station, there is a special bus to the Rehai Scenic Area. The fare is three yuan and the journey takes about twenty minutes. If you take a taxi, it costs about forty yuan. At present, the scenic area has strictly controlled people from soaking eggs in hot springs. In places that are still some distance away from the scenic area, egg sellers will stop cars halfway and sell eggs. In addition, there are security guards next to each hot spring pool to supervise people's behavior. Along the way, I saw geothermal heat of different landforms and visited the geothermal museum. Some hot spring pools can be drunk directly. There is a spoon next to the pool for people to scoop water to try. The most landmark is the big boiling pot on the mountain, which is constantly 99 degrees high. At present, the scenic area has also developed an open space for people to soak their feet in hot spring water. It costs forty yuan for an ordinary foot soak, and ten yuan is added if you need medicinal materials. There are also other massage services. Generally, the heat can be soaked for an hour. Add two spoons of hot spring water each time, and the water for soaking feet will be hot instantly. This is also the place where I have seen eggs soaked. There will be someone to help soak the eggs, so you don’t have to do it yourself.

Tengchong is one of the three major geothermal areas in my country, with more than 80 hot springs and boiling springs scattered all over the place, among which Rehai is the most representative. It is the second largest hot field in China, consisting of Rehai stones, big boiling pots, bathing valleys, pregnancy wells, pearl springs, beauty pools, etc. The highest water temperature reaches 102 degrees, making it the best place for geothermal therapy in China.

The Rehai Scenic Area is centered around Huangguaqing, Zaotang River and Sulfur Pond. There are many gas springs and hot springs, the most spectacular of which is the Big Boiling Pot.

We arrived at the Atami Scenic Area at dusk. We could hear the roar of the waterfall, smell the sulfur and see the clouds from afar... After we passed the green mountains, the scene in front of us was spectacular. A steaming waterfall fell down, and steam gushed out from the tops of several black rocks covered with moss and white sediments, making a "hissing" sound, which was drowned out by the grand sound of the waterfall. The stream meandered around the mountain, and the path climbed up the steps. Hot ground and hot springs of various shapes kept appearing on the roadside...

We climbed hundreds of steps at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, and the scenery along the way passed by one by one. Finally, we arrived at the last attraction a few minutes before the night view lights came on - the famous big boiling pot! The big boiling pot is shaped like a gossip, and the water temperature can reach up to 97℃. There, we put three strings of eggs carried from the bottom of the mountain into the pot and boiled them. The raw eggs were cooked in five minutes. We truly experienced the eighteen strange things in Yunnan: "eggs are sold on grass strings" and "take off the bamboo hat as a pot cover". I don't know if it's because I'm hungry or it's different when boiled in hot spring water. It seems that I have never eaten such delicious boiled eggs!

After a few days of running around, the tired body was greatly relieved when immersed in the warm hot spring water. This is not the artificial hot spring water that we usually take in the hot spring city around the city, which can only be called warm water. This is a real geothermal hot spring with a slightly pungent smell. Zhu'er's sensitive skin felt itchy, but of course she got used to it later. After the bath, everyone was radiant and their skin was delicate...

Rehai is the second largest hot spring in China, consisting of Rehai Stone, Big Boiling Pot, Bathing Valley, Pregnancy Well, Pearl Spring, Beauty Pool, etc.

By sukichan0403 |

You must go and soak in the hot springs here. It's super comfortable. And it's a pure hot spring

By Playing around |

The geothermal activity here is active. You can smell the sulphur as soon as you enter the scenic area. The scenery is not so nice, but soaking in the hot springs and getting a massage are worth the trip.

By rush |

The Hot Sea Boiling Pot, China's most famous geothermal attraction, is an eye-opener.

By Four Girls Bobcat Uncle |

The hot springs in the Rehai scenic area are quite spectacular, especially the pregnant well and the big boiling pot. You can also go to the Yugu hot springs by the way. The water quality is absolutely perfect.

The most spectacular big boiling pot attracts the most tourists, some taking pictures, some boiling eggs...

Tengchong Hot Spring is a major scenic spot in Tengchong and is highly recommended.

Here I come, the Internet celebrity big boiling pot. The scenic area has a strong smell of sulfur and the temperature is very hot. You can soak in the hot springs and feel comfortable.

It's not bad, although it smells a bit, haha, the smell of sulfur is not good. Remember to bring eggs in to steam.

By Spiritual Tourism |

Rehai Dagunguo, near Tengchong County in western Yunnan Province, is a natural geothermal hot spring wonder. Xu Xiake, a geographer in the Ming Dynasty, once made a detailed record of the volcanic relics and hot springs in Tengchong in his book. Due to volcanic activity, Tengchong was formed...

By Princess Iron Fan |

There are hot springs gushing out everywhere in Atami, the largest of which is the Big Boiling Pot, and there are also the Spectacle Spring, the Beauty Pool, etc.

By The sea embraces all rivers |

Tengchong, west of Gaoligong Mountain, is commonly known as "Nine out of Ten Mountains Have No Heads", which refers to the hundreds of dead volcanoes densely packed in the area, which are traces left by the violent turbulence of the earth in geological history. The volcanoes are dead, but the plate movement is still going on, and the energy in the earth's core is looking for cracks in the earth's crust to vent, thus forming hot springs and steam springs.

The newly built commercial street in Atami was deserted and looked desolate. It seemed that most people had gone to soak in the hot springs.

The steaming hot springs don't have as strong a sulfur smell as the ones in Taipei. It's hard to tell the difference between sulfuric acid hot springs and sulfur hot springs.

There are many small holes and cracks on the whole mountain, with white smoke whirring out of them, which makes you feel nervous, because in the traditional concept, the wisps of white smoke must mean that something is about to explode.

There are two bathing areas in the volcanic hot spring, one is the Beauty Valley Bathing Area, and the other is the Bathing Valley Bathing Area at the exit. Online reviews say that the Bathing Valley is better than the Beauty Valley, which does not look large in scale.

The scenic area is not big. The electric car will take you directly to the pedestrian entrance, which is actually only a 5-minute walk away. Then you walk all the way up the mountain. There is a landmark big boiling pot on the top of the mountain. If you want to take a bath in the bathing valley, you must bring your equipment with you, because the location of the bathing valley is not at the entrance of the scenic area. Lao Hu thinks this design is extremely stupid. The only explanation is that he is forcing you to buy hot spring supplies such as swimsuits. Who would have thought of carrying a swimsuit and a towel to climb the mountain.

By Xue Mu Lang Huan |

The Rehai Scenic Area has its own humidification and heating, and there is also a smell of rotten eggs. There is the only sulfur spring in Tengchong. If you like sulfur hot springs, you can buy a hot spring ticket in Yugu and come to the scenic area to soak in hot springs.

By missdeng2012 |

It's not far from Heshun Ancient Town by taxi for about 50 yuan. The ticket is 50 yuan per person, not including the hot spring. It took more than two hours to climb to the top of the big boiling pot. You can buy some eggs to steam and eat...

Atami has been developed for many years and has relatively complete facilities, but the hotels there are very expensive.

By Hehe |

I went to the Atami Scenic Area in the morning. I wasn’t interested in taking photos, firstly because I’d been there before and secondly because it really felt quite ordinary. Maybe my heart had already flown to the Ginkgo Village.

By zjg159 |

A standard scenic spot. The features are various geothermal hot springs. It is interesting to boil eggs next to the big boiling pot. Although you have to climb the mountain, the scenic spot is not big and it is not tiring to play.

By Hello Hey Hi |

That's it, only the big boiling pot at the end is interesting. The scenic area is very small, and it takes half an hour to walk through it. There are no good attractions, and I don't even have the desire to take out my phone to take pictures.

By Flying Birds |

Walking in the scenic area, there is steam everywhere, as if a big pot lid has been lifted. Looking around, everything near and far is shrouded in white mist, as if flying in the clouds. The most famous hot sea boiling pot in the scenic area. Walking into the museum in the scenic area, you can also learn about geothermal knowledge.

By Diana |

It's magical. You can see the boiling hot springs and boil eggs in them. I love the bougainvillea in the scenic area.

Rehai is a must-visit tourist attraction when you come to Tengchong. The magic of nature is worth seeing.

By Little dear |

Atami is definitely the most worthwhile place to go! After arriving at Atami, there are people selling eggs at the door. Many aunties sell eggs in front of your car. We bought a bunch of eggs and a bunch of salted duck eggs (later confirmed that you can just buy eggs, the eggs are delicious, they are the kind of local eggs). It is best to take a battery car to Atami, otherwise you have to walk back from the mountain after a tour, which is very far. Atami has its own hot springs. You can buy a package online in advance to soak here, but the facilities here are definitely not as complete as those in Lotus. If you don’t have time for the itinerary, it’s also good to soak here. It was very hot after entering, and it was a bit hot even wearing a thin sweater. Many people wore skirts with bare legs, but it was cold to take a battery car. There was a sulfur smell inside, and my throat was very uncomfortable, especially at the end, steaming eggs in a big boiling pot, which took a lot of time. Experience tells me that you must watch your eggs, otherwise they will be messed up by others! Your eggs will never be cooked! Anyway, ours were taken away, and they were cooked after steaming twice. They are delicious and worth waiting! Atami is quite shocking. This kind of natural geothermal heat is really rare!

The scenic area is not big, but there are all kinds of hot springs and geothermal landscapes. It is more interesting than Noboribetsu in Hokkaido. The whole valley is hot. Yugu Hot Spring is even better, with two types of original soup pools, carbonic acid and sulfur, and delicious sour papaya water available everywhere. I really want to stay there.

By Splendid Sun and Moon |

The entrance fee to the scenic spot is 60 yuan.

It is quite necessary to visit the Geothermal Geology Museum.

After all, you need to know the ins and outs of Xiarehai.

Don't mention it.

The sulfur springs in Atami are indeed of the highest quality.

We are no novices in taking hot spring baths.

I have also soaked in a lot of water both at home and abroad.

The sulfur springs in Atami are absolutely great!

In fact, the best way is to stay in a hotel here.

Go out and wander during the day,

Take a dip in the hot spring in the evening.

A comfortable night till dawn.

Hot spring package includes meals.

The heat is evaporating and the consumption is quite large.

A big bowl of boiling rice noodles is just right!

The 200° rice noodle bowl looks like the boiling hot spring in Atami.

【Tengchong】 is a famous geothermal scenic spot in China. There are 64 geothermal activity areas and more than 80 hot springs in the area, with the highest water temperature reaching 96.3℃. Among them, the one with the strongest heat and the most amazing external appearance is the Tengchong Hot Spring, which is about 8 kilometers west of the city. It is surrounded by green mountains and roaring water. It starts from Liuhuangtang in the north, connects to Songshanqing in the south, Zhongxiao Temple in the east, and Banana Garden in the west.

By Dora Xin |

I bought a hot spring package for 530 for two people. The scenic area is not big, but it is worth a visit. There are large and small pools along the way, steaming hot, and the big boiling pot on the top of the mountain is close to 100 degrees. I bought two steamed eggs, which are delicious. The hot spring I chose is Yugu Hot Spring, which is just the place I passed by after coming down from the big boiling pot, which is very convenient. The beauty bath is halfway up the mountain and can be seen by people passing by. Yugu Hot Spring is OK, and the service environment is good.

By Misaki |

If you want to go to the hot pot to boil eggs, you can buy 4 eggs per string for 5 yuan outside the scenic area, which is quite cost-effective. Once you get inside the scenic area, it will cost 10 yuan per string.

The Atami scenic area is built on a mountain. You have to climb all the way up to the top of the mountain to see the famous Atami Big Hot Pot! ! There are stairs and the distance is not close, so it is a bit tiring to walk up.

Next to the big boiling pot, there are two steamers for steaming eggs. There are iron hooks on the ground for hooking eggs and steamer lids. Be careful not to get burned by the steam when putting eggs in. The steam is really hot! The steamer on the right is hotter and usually cooked in 12-15 minutes. It is recommended to tie a colored rope on the eggs to mark them. If there are too many eggs in the steamer, it will be difficult to tell which string is yours.

By WOLVER Yuraiya |

The charm of Atami is not only its high temperature of nearly 100 degrees, but also the rich minerals in its water, which are good for the skin and have beauty effects. Atami is located in the forest, with the forest bringing coolness and Atami bringing warmth, which is very comfortable.

Tengchong Rehai is a must-visit place and the first choice for hot springs. The service is first-class and the price is moderate. I heard that there are many people during the tourist season. Snacks are provided free of charge and rice noodles can be tasted. It's great. The transportation is very convenient and there are direct buses.

By Fishing cat |

It was a long walk to get in, and we had to climb a mountain. The weather was really good, with blue sky and white clouds, the sun was shining brightly above, and the ground was hot below, making my feet sweat profusely. I began to miss cloudy days and light rain.

The scenic area has nice scenery and there are several hot spring hotels, all of which are quite expensive.

By joy |

There is a beautiful legend about Rehai: In ancient times, the weather in this area was cold and the people were miserable. A kind old man went through many hardships to find a way to make this place warm and fertile. Later, his sincerity moved the gods, who gave him a pearl to hold in his mouth. He suddenly felt the heat and drank several rivers in one breath. Finally, he turned into a dragon that spit out hot water. Wherever he rested, there were countless hot springs. From then on, this place was warm all year round, cattle and sheep were fat, and grains were abundant. . .

To put it simply, this attraction is about watching huge boiling pots with steam rising from them. I think older people might like it more.

Entering the Atami scenic area, there is smoke everywhere, hot springs gushing out from the rocks, billowing hot smoke, and strong sulfur smell rushing into the nose wave after wave. The entire mountain forest is shrouded in a white mist. Apart from the sulfur smell, this place is actually quite a fairyland.

The ticket is 78 yuan/person. Since Tengchong Volcano and Rehai belong to the same company, you can buy a combined ticket for 120 yuan/person. There is a special bus from Tengchong Tourist Bus Station to the Volcano and Rehai. There is a parking building at the Rehai Scenic Area. There are aunties selling skewered eggs at the door for 5 yuan/skewer. It is 10 yuan/skewer in the scenic area, but it is really tiring to carry the eggs up and down all the way.

Scan the QR code to enter the park and follow the road signs. There is basically only one tour route, so just follow the flow of people and enjoy the tropical scenery along the way.

After climbing the volcano, I was mesmerized by the scene as soon as I stepped into the Atami scenic area. The geothermal phenomenon combined with the scenery of the Chinese pavilions is exquisite and perfect, and it is a perfect harmony between man and nature.

The "Xiake Pavilion" accompanied by warm mist and light smoke started our trip to Atami.

The combination of morning sunlight and geothermal smoke creates a dreamy feeling that permeates the sky and rises...

Even the ordinary little houses on the roadside were covered with a veil of light smoke, making them stand out among the green mountains.

Here, you will be fascinated by the wonders of nature.

Here, mysterious symbols beside the spring are waiting for your deciphering.

The entrance fee to the scenic spot is 62/person, and the hot spring is 268/person. The owner of the hotel where we stayed provided us with discount tickets, which saved us a lot of money. The hot spring package includes a free lunch, which is a big pot of rice noodles. It comes with various condiments and pickles. The soup is delicious.

As soon as you enter the door, you will feel like you are in a tropical rainforest scenic area. The air is filled with a strong smell of sulfur. The spring behind you is gushing with hot air and water vapor, like smoke and fog. The scenic area is very large, and climbing the mountain requires a certain amount of physical strength.

A must-see when visiting Tengchong, the scenic spot has a nice environment and is located halfway up a mountain. As soon as you enter the scenic area, you can see the steaming geothermal water and smell the strong smell of sulfur.

Tickets are 78/person. There are many hot springs in Chongqing. I am not very interested in this one. It is just a check-in tour. The temperature is very high and it is still very imposing. The fountain has high temperature and high pressure, so pay attention to safety.

Entering the Atami Valley, you will see the hot air rising up and the valley filled with steam. You can also see many pores in the valley spewing out mist.

What’s even more interesting is that most tourists carry eggs along the way, looking for places to steam and boil eggs. Carry? That’s right, this is one of the 18 strange things in Yunnan, selling eggs in strings. Use straw to weave a long bag, put a string of raw eggs in it, and carry it around. This strange thing is rare outside of Tengchong.

The water of Rehai Hot Spring is soft, high in temperature and highly mineralized. Soaking in the hot spring here is extremely beneficial to the body.

The most attractive thing in the scenic area is the "Hot Sea Hot Pot", a circular hot spring pool with a diameter of 6 meters and a water temperature of about 96 degrees. The eggs cooked in the hot pot are strung together with straw for 5 yuan each. It is a must-try and almost all tourists buy them.

Tickets: 60 yuan for adults; 268 yuan for Rehai Yugu Hot Spring, 238 yuan for Rehai Meilingchi Hot Spring. The whole scenic area is not very large, and 2 hours of sightseeing time is enough.

The scenery of Atami is very ordinary. You can smell the strong smell of sulfur not far from the scenic area, and the heat is everywhere. However, this special geological landform is still worth knowing. The Atami Big Boiling Pot is the highlight of the scenic spot. Put the eggs in the steamer next to the big boiling pot. It is said that they can be steamed in fifteen minutes. But there were many people on the day we went, and people kept opening the lid. The egg was not cooked for more than 20 minutes. If there are many people, it is recommended to steam it for half an hour.

The sulphur smell is quite strong and the eggs cooked in it are indeed chewy.

There are many tourists here. We also bought a bunch of eggs and put them in a big steamer. They are very tender and the blue water of Atami

Very shocking! There are many hot springs in the country, and I have never seen a temperature that can reach 90 degrees. This is the only one. And I am sure that this is a real hot spring. As soon as you enter, you can smell the sulfur. The hot spring bath here is also worth a dip! Highly recommended! In addition, the scenic area is also very beautiful, with small bridges and flowing water. The price is also very cheap, a bag of eggs is only 10 yuan. Recommended!

The hot springs are very nice, not very developed, and surrounded by nature

By Qibao travels around the world |

This is the best hot spring that our family has traveled all over China. We soaked in it for a day and felt very comfortable. It also cured our dandruff.

By China-TravelNote users |

The attractions exceeded expectations. The natural landscapes formed by sulfur minerals in various geothermal springs along the way are paintings from nature, which are awe-inspiring. The hot spring eggs are great, and the taste is really different after being fumigated by geothermal heat! [Transportation] There is a direct minibus at the bus station of the urban tourist bus station. There are almost no people in the off-season. It takes about half an hour to get there, and it only costs 3 yuan.

Most people go to Tengchong’s special attractions to take in the hot springs.

The "Rehai Big Boiling Pot" was packed with people. The ticket + beauty bath + rice noodle cost about 270 yuan. I felt that only this bowl of rice noodle was worth the trip!

By -Ou Ben Bu Yi- |

It takes almost 2 hours to visit without taking the hot springs. You don't have to take the car inside. Not only will you miss some scenery if you don't go far. Potatoes and peanuts are good. You can buy eggs and salted duck eggs at the door and steam them for 10 minutes.

By Burkin |

Transportation: I took a Didi taxi, and the bus should also be available

The ticket price is 78 yuan, and half price with student ID.

The hot spring ticket is more than 270

The hot spring area is divided into Yu Valley and Beauty Spring.

You can only choose one of the two hot spring tickets, go to one area to bathe, we chose Yugu

The environment of the bath valley is very good. You start with the Chinese herbal medicine pool, then the radon spring, coffee spring, aloe spring, wine spring, and tea spring. Then there are mineral springs such as metasilicic acid and bicarbonate springs, and finally the sulfur soup. In each bathing place, you can also drink chrysanthemum tea, Pu'er tea, and sour papaya juice. Here I especially recommend sour papaya juice!!! I can't stop drinking it

At the end of the bath, I also used the geothermal steam. Don’t forget to lay a towel when doing so.

After experiencing everything, there are free buffet food such as Hot Sea steamed eggs, steamed potatoes, steamed peanuts, purple rice porridge, pumpkin porridge, white fungus soup, jujube, tortoise jelly, watermelon, etc.

After leaving the locker room, don’t forget to take the electric car to eat the free rice noodles, which taste delicious.

Common supplies such as bath towels, shower gel and shampoo are provided free of charge, just like in bathing centers.

The water quality is said to be the best in Tengchong. It is worth the trip. It can be said to be the top 1 must-see in Tengchong.

In addition to the volcanoes, Tengchong also has many hot springs. The Rehai Park of Tengchong Volcano Geothermal National Geopark is a concentrated embodiment of Tengchong's geothermal landscapes such as hot springs, steam cones, waterfalls, and rivers.

As soon as you enter the scenic area, you can see hot springs gushing everywhere. The scenic area is filled with mist and the air is filled with a strong sulfur smell of rotten eggs.

The whole scenic area has drinkable water, and it is a pregnancy well. It is said that if you drink the water on the left side, you will get a boy, and if you drink the water on the right side, you will get a girl. It really attracts many tourists to drink water here. Maybe there are people who really believe that this legend is effective. Many people who come to Atami are not here for its scenery, but come here specifically to soak in hot springs. However, this season is the peak season and the hot spring pool is crowded, so we gave up this arrangement.

By Liu Xing is very good |

As the saying goes, if you haven't been to Rehai, you haven't been to Tengchong, and if you haven't soaked in hot springs, you haven't been to Rehai. (You can see the traces of the 4A to 5A change in the picture) The ticket price of the newly promoted 5A scenic spot in August 2016 has now risen to 270 yuan. There are many gas springs and hot springs along the way. The Big Boiling Pot is located at the end of all the scenic spots. There are two hot springs in the scenic area for tourists to recuperate - Rehai Beauty Pool and Love Bath Valley. The Beauty Pool is located in the front half of the scenic area. There are tourists passing by above it, which feels awkward. The Spring Valley Hot Spring is located next to the Big Boiling Pot and is also the focus of the itinerary. The environment and the number of springs are better.

It's a very interesting place, steaming everywhere. Eggs are cheaper outside the gate, but more expensive inside the scenic area.

The children came here just for the boiled eggs, so they bought a bunch of eggs at the entrance of the scenic spot, and jogged all the way to the highest point, which was the large boiling pot in Rei. A staff member used tongs to put the eggs into the boiling pit next to the boiling pot, and they were cooked in about 20 minutes, and they were indeed fully cooked.

It's a mess, there are a lot of people, the key is to climb the mountain
