Once upon a time, in a remote corner of Ruishui Township, there was a barren piece of land. No one knew that the ground they walked on was a hidden treasure, rich with natural hot springs and minerals. A young man, standing at the age of 30, decided to take a chance for his hometown and his youth. At a depth of 430 meters underground, he discovered an entirely new world.
This journey was a story of gradual accumulation and continuous transformation. Every step forward was meant to let Ruixiong’s guests truly feel warmth and a sense of home. Over the years, our friends who witnessed us tear down various structures and watched us grow, we are deeply grateful to you.
In May, our square public bath was retired, moving into history. Many were in disbelief, even thinking it was just an internet rumor. Thoughtful guests still called to ask and share their concerns. Next to retire was the semi-open-air hot spring bathhouse. We knew that many of our loyal friends came to Ruixiong just for this experience. On the last day of operation, November 30, 2022, seeing your expressions of nostalgia made us realize we must strive even harder. Thank you, dear friends; your support is our driving force. In two years, we will re-emerge with new elegance, so remember to come back and visit us!
Due to the color and transparency of the hot springs, there are often misunderstandings. When it first emerges from the earth, the spring water is clear and colorless. However, after a brief moment of oxidation, it transforms into a golden hue, known as the “Golden Spring.” This water, with its high mineral content, crystallizes easily (calcium carbonate being the main component), and the color deepens as the water temperature increases. With this unique nature, Ruixiong has upheld the use of the original spring water for the past 20 years.
