Scenic spot introduction:
Tianshengqiao Hot Spring Scenic Area is rich in geothermal resources, with more than 20 cave hot springs distributed over nearly 10,000 square meters. The hot spring water here flows continuously all year round, with the highest water temperature reaching 69 degrees Celsius. Some are hidden in swamps, some are distributed at the foot of rocks, and some spurt out from the rock walls, mixing with the river water, alternating between hot and cold, and filled with mist. The hot spring is located 5 kilometers southeast of Tiansheng Bridge.Attractions distribution:
According to legend, after Master Padmasambhava bathed in this spring, local Tibetans called it the "Holy Spring", giving Tianshengqiao Hot Spring a mysterious religious color. Every year around the Tibetan New Year, Tibetan people from nearby villages and households rush to the Holy Water Hot Spring to participate in the annual bathhouse party. During the festival, the hot spring pools will be crowded with men, women and children, regardless of gender and age, bathing together to enjoy the gentle and moist natural water and wash away the worries and diseases of the year.Scenic spot qualifications:
