On November 17th, Guangdong News (Xinhua) -- The 2023 Qingyuan Tourism Development Conference and the opening ceremony of the Qingyuan Hot Spring Season were recently held at the Qingyuan Fresh and Warm Mineral Spring Resort.
The main venue for the launch ceremony of the Qingyuan Hot Spring Season is located in the Qingxin River Hot Spring, where various activities such as cultural and artistic performances, "Five Billion Agricultural Industries" specialty agricultural product exhibitions, food exhibitions, intangible cultural heritage exhibitions, and promotion of specialty hot spring tourism will be held on site.

Family hot springs, passionate rafting, passionate homestays, and leisurely countryside have always been the four strong "tracks" of Qingyuan tourism. As a strong tourist city in China, Qingyuan boasts picturesque mountains and abundant hot spring resources, making it a true "hometown of hot springs in China". The leading tourism enterprise in Qingyuan, Gulongxia, has teamed up with its Hezhong Hot Spring Hotel to propose the concept of creating a "hot spring+". Through various methods such as "hot spring+scenic area", "hot spring+rafting", "hot spring+hotel", and "hot spring+amusement", it has created rich and colorful articles around hot springs. It has also launched multiple scenic spot tickets to solve the problem of single seasonal tourism, achieve year-round and day night travel, empower the creation of a comprehensive tourism destination, and promote the high-quality development of Qingyuan tourism.
Hezhong Hot Springs is a national 4A level tourist attraction located in Sankeng Town, a famous hot spring town with a hundred years of history. Its predecessor was the popular fresh and warm mineral spring resort 20 years ago. In 2022, it was renovated and upgraded from the Gulong Gorge and opened its doors to welcome visitors. The renovated Hezhong Hot Springs not only improved its reception capacity, but also innovated on the original basis.

The person in charge of the scenic area said that the scenic area is composed of three major clusters: Spring Valley, Forest Villa, and River Spring. The Moroccan style architecture that can be seen everywhere is a popular destination for young people to leave.
