Check in with Su Dongpo - Huizhou Hot Springs

Family members, who understands! After a week of work, I feel numb all over and urgently need a hot spring to heal my tired body and mind! I happened to be reading Su Dongpo's "A Poem of Huizhou" some time ago, in which it says: "Spring is everywhere in every household in Lingnan, and there will be hermits staying here as guests." This made me yearn for the hot springs in Lingnan. So, I decisively took a year off and came to Huizhou where he was exiled at the time, wanting to experience a hot spring trip in the Song Dynasty. As soon as I arrived in Huizhou, I couldn't wait to go to the hot spring. The hot spring water here has been used for thousands of years, starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was even praised by Su Dongpo! The water of the hot spring is very clear and has a light smell of sulfur. I heard it is very good for the skin. After changing into my swimsuit, I jumped into the pool. Wow, the water temperature is just right. It’s very comfortable to soak in it. I feel like all the fatigue in my body has been relieved. And the environment here is also very good, with mountains, water, and quaint pavilions, which is very suitable for relaxing. I soaked in the hot spring for an entire afternoon and felt so refreshed. Family, the hot spring is really amazing, I strongly recommend everyone to come and experience it! In the evening, I also went to the night market near Tangquan, where there are many local specialties, such as grilled fish, barbecue, candied haws, etc. I tried the grilled fish, it was delicious, the fish was tender and juicy, and paired with the special seasoning, it was really memorable. In Huizhou, I also visited Dongpo Academy, West Lake and other attractions to experience the local history, culture and natural scenery. The scenery here is very beautiful and the air is fresh, which makes people feel happy. During this trip to Huizhou, I not only experienced the beauty of the hot springs, but also felt the history, culture and natural scenery of Huizhou. It was really a very pleasant trip. Families, if you want to escape from busy work and relax, Huizhou is definitely a good choice. Come and check in with Su Dongpo!
