Yunnan Tengchong Rehai Legend

There is also a beautiful myth about Rehai: in ancient times, it was freezing in this area, and the people were miserable. There is a kind old man who, through hardships, found a way to make this place warm and rich. Later, his sincerity touched the immortal, who gave him a treasure bead and put it in his mouth. He was so hot that he drank several rivers in one breath and finally became a little dragon spitting hot water. Wherever he stopped, there were countless hot springs. Since then, it has been warm all year round, with fat cattle and sheep and abundant grains.

Geologically, Tengchong is located in the world-famous Alps-Himalayan tectonic belt, at the junction of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate. Due to the special structure, the underground fault magmatism in this area is very strong, and helium and methane gas are released from geothermal hot springs, which shows that the underground magmatism has never stopped and there is a steady supply of volcanoes. This phenomenon is a typical sign of dormant volcano. Therefore, the geothermal wonder in Tengchong is the result of the heat flow from the center of the stratum rising to the surface and erupting along the crustal fracture.

Tengchong Rehai not only has a unique landscape, but also is very beneficial to people's lives. Now there are many nursing homes, bathrooms and entertainment facilities around Rehai, and tourists and doctors keep coming every day. There are many hot spring bathing services in the scenic area, with prices ranging from 3 to 20 yuan, but bathing is not allowed in Dagunguo Scenic Resort scenic area.
