In this village of Anhui, clothes are washed with hot spring water, and there was once a public bathing pool that separated men and women.
We only know that hot springs can relieve fatigue. However, in a small village in Anhui, hot springs are actually used to wash clothes? How extravagant!
Yuxi, a county town in Anqing, Anhui.
Located in the foothills of the Dabie Mountains, located in the southwest of Anhui Province, west of Anqing City.
It's said that this place of Yuxi is a real mountain and water landscape, with forest coverage reaching 76%, it's a national garden county.

Yuxi Tianatang Town – Hidden in the depths of the Dabie Mountains
How did hot springs form?
During the Cretaceous period of the Middle Ages, located in the foothills of the Dabie Mountains, there was a relatively strong earthquake movement, thus forming north-south, north-east direction of fault combination. AndYuxi Hot SpringJust located on the south slope of Dabie Mountain, Yuxi Mountain basin north-south extended, through the geological movement and erosion, formed Yuxi basin.
The inter-faults have been crossed, broken and weathered by external factors such as wind and rain, forming underground hot water. Day after day, under the rain, concentrated in the depths, after those unknown years, formed the hot springs we see today under certain geological conditions.
Hot spring springs.
The hot spring springs are located 10-15 minutes away from Tianyuan Bay hot spring. There are multiple springs, and the heart-shaped No. 1 well is the largest spring. The staff helps us open the switches below to spray the hot spring water, 50 degrees Celsius hot spring water, standing in it is very comfortable.
There are historical and ancient men's and women's bathing pools with traces.
Tianatang Hot Spring Town, it's a very historical place, there are inscriptions in the village, bathing and treating diseases in the Ming Dynasty. In the 'Anqing Prefecture Chronicle' of the Qing Dynasty, Tianatang Town is recorded as 'There are hot springs that can be bathed in.' Tianyuan Bay hot spring has excellent quality, contains radium, hydrogen and other beneficial microelements for human health.
There is an ancient bathing pool in Tianatang Town, a public bathing pool, the walls outside the bathing pool have ancient inscriptions. They record the changes and fortunes that occurred here over time……
In the ancient bathing pool, the peeling wall skin is mottled and aged, there are two large square pools on the outside, and the outer side is a stone staircase, the part with light comes in through the top half, letting in strands of light. Imagining people bathing in it without clothes, it's a bit shy.
There are two public bathing pools in Tianatang Town for villagers to use, divided into men's and women's bathing pools. Originally, the public bathing pool was not separated, talking about this, I'm also very puzzled? Without a separate bathing pool, can't men and women bathe together?
The current women's bathroom is only open in the afternoon for use. VillagersJust pay 10 yuan a year, you can soak in hot springs for a year. , it's also a very blessed place.
This 10 yuan is actually paid as a fee for the bathing pool cleaning staff.
Using hot springs to wash clothes in Yuxi.
From the ancient bathing pool, you can see the public hot spring pool, there's an old man changing clothes in the pool; opposite is a villager queuing to fetch hot spring water into his bucket while chatting; seeing this scene is really stunned, the first time to see using hot spring water instead of living water, it's also very luxurious, I think.
Seeing hot spring water flowing from the water pipe, I hesitated and walked over to chat with the villagers to find out that this water pipe is for the convenience of villagers to use. I put my hand into the villagers' bucket, hey, it's really warm hot spring water!
In the past, people used hot springs for daily bathing. Now people are no longer satisfied with the most basic needs, more focus on physical and mental enjoyment. In Yuxi, with a blend of high-tech and beautiful environment, it has become a good place for vacation and hot spring bathing.
