Which is better, Shiqian Hot Spring or Fodingshan Hot Spring?
Shiqian hot spring is better. Shiqian Hot Springs has a long history of development. "Shiqian County Records" contains: "In three years, Zhuge Liang, the marquis of Wu, marched south, and the pioneers arrived in Shiqian, building Zhuge Temple on the hot springs in the south of the city to worship heaven". Of course, this record is far-fetched and unreliable. The earliest development of Shiqian Hot Springs can be traced back to the late Ming Dynasty, with a history of about 400 years. According to Qing Qianlong's Records of Shiqian Mansion, "In the thirty-fourth year of Wanli (AD 1606), the magistrate Jiang Dakun began to build hot springs on a large scale." Since then, Shiqian Hot Springs have been continuously built, forming Jiangnan gardens within its scope, forming "eight hot springs", and countless literati left ink pens here. The Origin of Shiqian Hot Springs There is a local legend about the origin of hot springs: A long time ago, a Yunnan man came to Shiqian with a fire dragon from Yunnan. Seeing beautiful scenery and rich products, the people are hardworking and thrifty, and they are reluctant to leave. So they put the fire dragon at the bottom of the river, with its tail in Yunnan and its head in Shiqian, spouting hot springs from the ground to help the people bathe. Before he died, the man was asked to be buried in the jungle on the mountain north of the hot spring. Under the tower, there is a three-story stone tower covered with a dragon of Yongzheng, which will benefit all the people in Shiqian for generations. Hot springs are adjacent to rivers and are famous for Longdi River or Longchuan River.
