Half-soup spring water hot and cold together, clean and clear, out of the ground generally in the 55C, containing more than 30 kinds of internal elements, of which each milliliter contains 80 to 120 eman radon gas, rare in China. It has been identified by the national authoritative scientific research institutions that Half Tang produces both hot springs for bathing and mineral springs for drinking, with superior grade and excellent quality, comparable to the world-famous 8 major mineral waters for drinking, and has extremely precious development value. The spring water has obvious therapeutic effects on more than 50 kinds of diseases, especially on the motor system, nervous system and skin diseases with the best therapeutic effects. According to the Record of the Universe, "All those who hold the disease drink and bathe in this soup, no effect"; men and women, young and old, after this bath, all have "worry as if the muscles and bones change" of the relaxation of the feeling of pleasure.

Hot springs contain more than 30 kinds of active elements, can treat a variety of diseases, but unfortunately for thousands of years did not get the rational development and utilization, has been "kept in the bosom of the people do not know." Until the spring of 1938, General Feng Yuxiang returned to his hometown, donated funds to build a half of the soup bath, only half of the hot springs to really play its role.

Measured, half of the hot spring water elements in the ionic state. It can be through the human skin or attached to the body surface, involved in a variety of human metabolic activities, the chemical composition of the hot spring water in the water temperature, water pressure and buoyancy, etc. *** with the role of the human body peripheral vasodilatation, improve microcirculation, exuberance of the metabolism, improve the cardiorespiratory function, enhance the compensatory function and regulate the function of the endocrine and so on.

Clinical practice has shown that the half-soup hot spring has a significant therapeutic effect on the following diseases:

4, cardiovascular diseases: coronary heart disease, hypertension, myocarditis, arteriosclerosis, etc.

5, metabolism, the endocrine system and gynecological diseases, such as gout, obesity, diabetes and so on. As early as the spring of 1937, General Feng Yuxiang returned to his hometown of Zhuko Village with his entourage and stayed there for a month. One day he took the adjutant and two guards in civilian clothes, over the test knife mountain in the name of half of the hot springs to visit, bathing. At that time, there was no real bath in Hantang, only a short wall blocking a pool, rain and snow because of the wind and rain and often unbearable to use, and there is no women's bathroom. General learned of all this, extremely distressed. Republic of 26 years, half of the soup how there is no women's bathroom? General has always advocated equality between men and women, and immediately found the head of security, the squire, proposed that the old customs should be eliminated, the construction of women's bathrooms. The head of security spread his hands and said: "The township is poor, can not get money." The general called the adjutant and asked, "How much money do we have left?" The adjutant replied, "Sir, we have already exceeded our spending plan by planting trees in Xiaofoling, building a school building in Yuanshan, and subsidizing the poor, and the rest is only enough to cover our expenses for the reverse journey." The general pondered a little, that is to say to the bailiffs and burghers, "I will come back next spring to build the half-temple bath."

General Feng did not renege on his promise, in the spring of 1938, the general returned to his hometown and once again with his entourage to the half-tang. This time he donated 2,000 silver yuan, personally handed over to the local gentry Li Ruhai, Sun Yelin, for the purchase of bricks and mortar wood, building men and women's bathrooms, leaving a Zhao Quartermaster General to supervise the project. Not yet in January, twelve brick and wood structure of the bathroom was finally completed, the north six for women's bathrooms, south six for men's bathrooms. On the day of completion, the townspeople spontaneously set off firecrackers to celebrate the birth of the women's bathroom. Because the bathroom is General Feng donated funds to build, he has long said that does not charge bath money, regardless of the rich and poor in this bath are equal, so the bathroom door crowded with men, women and children of the four townships and eight neighbors. At that time, the Chao County Governor Guo Rutai emotionally to, pen on the Tang Dynasty poet Luo Yin's poem "Drinking water fish heart know the cold and warm, Maundy people feet know the heat and cold." And as a couplet engraved on both sides of the bathroom door to remember the general's feat.

General Feng donated funds to build half-soup bathroom, there are two new initiatives: that is, half-soup for the first time there is a real bathroom; Chao County (today's Juchao District) also for the first time there is a women's bathroom.

Half Tang hot springs is contained in the deep underground rock fissures in the water, through the non-stop operation, in the ground temperature, ground pressure under the long-term effect, not only access to the deep stratum of heat conduction, the water temperature of 55 ℃ -62 ℃, is a high-temperature type of mineral water, but also access to a variety of elements dissolved in the spring water, such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, strontium, lithium, zinc, sulfate, and bicarbonate, etc.,

which the radioactive radon, Metasilicic acid ions are up to the national mineral water classification boundary standards, belonging to radioactive radon, metasilicicic acid, sulfate mineral water, with high medical value, thus forming a nationally renowned hot springs with health care and therapeutic effects.

It is measured that the elements in the hot spring water of Hantou are in ionized state. It can pass through the human skin or attached to the body surface, and participate in various metabolic activities of the human body. The chemical components in the hot spring water can make the peripheral blood vessels of the human body dilate, improve microcirculation, exuberant metabolism, improve the cardiopulmonary function, enhance the compensatory function and regulate the function of endocrine and so on under the action of the water temperature, pressure and buoyancy and so on***.

At the same time, with the development of half of the soup in the past few years, in addition to the hot springs, other supporting facilities are also becoming more and more perfect.

The end of the Ming Dynasty, Huang Fanzhen made a house over it, surrounded by a brick wall, half a mile away, there are cold springs, its cold to the bone." And "half-soup hot springs" as one of the Chao County Ten Scenic Shapes and Sights map, complete with beautiful illustrations.

After the zoning adjustment, the creation of the half-soup hot springs international tourism resort was put on the agenda.

According to preliminary planning, the resort will be in accordance with the "one heart, three valleys" pattern layout of the future landscape.

The reporter learned that the half-soup international hot springs resort will be the background of the mountain, the water system as a clue to the hot springs as the core, to build "a heart of three valleys" planning structure. "A heart", is to half of the hot spring resources as the core, to the entrance service, hot spring bathing, conferences and exhibitions, business and leisure, urban leisure as the main function, the construction of the "moon lake evening spring", "golden nest silver springs "Two iconic projects will be built to create a new landmark for nighttime entertainment in Hefei and a base for high-end business meetings in the Yangtze River Delta.

The "Three Valleys" are the Valley of Health, the Valley of Wisdom and the Valley of Escape. Health Valley, with health as the core concept, combined with hot springs and idyllic environment, to recreation and health, idyllic vacation, theme amusement, etc. as the main function, the construction of the "ring Yu Lequan", "mountain living springs", "flower field happy spring" three key projects, to create a new landmark of night entertainment and high-end business conference base in Yangtze River Delta. "Three key projects will be built to create the first brand of hot spring recreation and health care. Huizhi Valley will take the general's culture as the connotation, and take garden office, enterprise clubhouse, creative leisure and cultural experience as the main functions, build "General's Royal Spring", and create an influential creative industry base in China. Easy Valley will be characterized by mountain ecology, around the mountain sports, mountain ecological vacation and other major functions, the construction of the "Qiankun Road Spring", "Linjian cold spring", to create a mountain sports vacation getaway.
