1.Chongqing itself is a city floating on the spray of hot springs. It is located in the fold belt of Sichuan, where the rock cracks are rich and the abundant geothermal resources create the enrichment of hot springs.
2.As early as 423 AD, the Buddhist monk Ciying led his people to establish Jinyun Temple and Jinyun Temple - Hot Spring Temple on the Jinyun Mountain on the outskirts of Chongqing, which opened the first use of hot springs in Chongqing.
3. Chongqing not only has the beautiful scenery surrounded by rivers and mountains, but also has world-class hot springs and geothermal resources, which are large in quantity and high in quality, with a long history and rich in categories.
Due to the large quantity and high quality, long history and other reasons, Chongqing itself is a city floating on the hot spring waves, it is located in the eastern Sichuan fold belt, rich rock fractures, abundant geothermal resources have created hot spring enrichment.
Due to the world's rare folded landform structure, Chongqing has abundant hot spring resources. According to relevant data statistics, as of the end of 2022, there are a total of 169 hot springs in Chongqing, and currently there are 110 available hot springs, accounting for 65% of the total number of hot springs, including 95 drilling hot springs and 15 natural hot springs.
Located in the eastern Sichuan fold belt, Chongqing is rich in rock fractures and abundant geothermal resources enrich hot springs. Chongqing's hot springs cover an area of 10,000 square kilometers, with 1.21 million tons of hot spring water waiting to be mined every day. Proved hot spring mineral sites, the number is refreshing every year.
Because Chongqing is located in the fold belt of eastern Sichuan, the rock fractures are abundant, and the abundant geothermal resources create the enrichment of hot springs. According to statistics, as of 2015, Chongqing has been proved to have 131 hot spring mineral sites, the area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, geothermal recoverable water 560 million cubic meters per year, every day 100,000 cubic meters of hot springs flowing under people's feet.
Due to the large quantity and high quality, long history and other reasons, Chongqing itself is a city floating on the hot spring waves, it is located in the eastern Sichuan fold belt, rich rock fractures, abundant geothermal resources have created hot spring enrichment.
Because its unique mountain water potential, Chongqing hot spring is naturally different, its large scale, wide distribution, the formation of the special, occupy a very important position in the world. Hot springs have become one of Chongqing's proudest characteristic resources, and Chongqing has been honored as the "Hot Springs Capital of the World" - the first city in the world to receive this honor.
There are many mountains around Chongqing, which is conducive to the formation of hot springs, and the groundwater becomes warmer in the circulation. Chongqing is not only rich in hot spring resources, but also has a long history of hot springs
confluence of the Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, this metropolis serves as a gateway for cruises down the Yangtze River, the third longest river in the world. Because of its unique and abundant geothermal resources, Chongqing was awarded the Global Capital of Hot Springs in 2012 by the World Federation of Hydrotherapy and Climatotherapy.
Due to the large quantity and high quality, long history and other reasons, Chongqing itself is a city floating on the hot spring waves, it is located in the eastern Sichuan fold belt, rich rock fractures, abundant geothermal resources have created hot spring enrichment.
Chongqing is very rich in hot spring resources. According to relevant statistics, as of the end of 2022, there are 169 hot springs in Chongqing, and 110 hot springs are currently available, accounting for 65% of the total number of hot springs, including 95 drilling hot springs and 15 natural hot springs.After years of development, Chongqing has formed a national and even world-renowned hot spring represented by “east, south, west and North” springs, “Tongjing Hot springs”, and “Ronghui Hot springs”.In 2011, Chongqing was awarded the title of “China's Hot Spring Capital” by the former Ministry of Land and Resources, becoming one of the first three cities to be awarded. In 2012, it was awarded the brand title of “World Hot Spring Capital” by the World Federation of Hot Springs and Climate Health.
1.Chongqing has rich hot spring resources. The city is located in the fold belt of the Sichuan-Hubei platform, with a high density of rock layer faults, resulting in a rich distribution of hot spring minerals.
2.Chongqing has a long history of hot spring development. As early as the 5th century, Buddhist monk CiYing built the Jianyun Temple and Jianyun Xiaozu (hot spring temple) on the outskirts of Chongqing, pioneering the use of hot springs in China.
3.Chongqing's hot spring tourism industry is well developed. With various types of hot springs and high-quality service, attracting a large number of tourists to experience them.
4.Chongqing has unique hot spring culture. After years of development, hot spring culture has been integrated with local cultural characteristics and folk customs, becoming a unique cultural experience.
Chongqing itself is a city floating on the hot spring waves, it is located in the eastern Sichuan fold belt, rich rock fractures, abundant geothermal resources have created hot spring enrichment.
First, Chongqing has been developing and utilizing hot springs for a long time. Chongqing itself is a city floating on the hot spring waves, it is located in the fold belt of the eastern Sichuan with abundant fissures and geothermal resources. Second, Chongqing has rich natural resources of hot springs. Third, Chongqing's hot spring tourism industry is well developed. Fourth, Chongqing has unique hot spring culture.
Chongqing is rich in anticlinal structures, with numerous anticlinal folded mountain ranges lying in the central and western regions. The ridges in the folded and uplifted areas are prone to rock fragmentation and erosion. Over the years, they have been eroded by external forces such as flowing water and weathering, forming grooves, presenting as "two ridges and two troughs" or "three ridges and two troughs".
Abundant surface precipitation penetrates longitudinally into the mountain along karst caves and cracks, increasing in temperature and becoming hot water. On both sides of the anticline, it is trapped by impermeable rock layers, blocking the horizontal loss of hot water. The underground hot water flows southward, while in areas such as Taozixianshan in the south, the underground hot water flows northward, forming numerous underground hot water reservoirs, creating an endless stream of hot springs at a glance
Chongqing has a rare folded landform structure in the world, with lines of anticline folded mountain ranges lying like wrinkles in the central and western parts of the city. The ridges of the folded and uplifted areas have broken and easily eroded rock layers, which have been eroded by external forces such as flowing water and weathering over the years, forming grooves and presenting as "two ridges and one trough" or "three ridges and two troughs".
So, Chongqing's rich anticline structures have become underground hot water reservoirs, creating endless hot springs that flow at a glance
Because its unique mountain water potential, Chongqing hot spring is naturally different, its large scale, wide distribution, the formation of the special, occupy a very important position in the world. Hot springs have become one of Chongqing's proudest characteristic resources, and Chongqing has been honored as the "Hot Springs Capital of the World" - the first city in the world to receive this honor.
