Chibi Longyou Hot Spring's water source comes from five self-flowing wells under Wuhong Mountain, with a daily flow rate of over 5,000 tons. The spring water gushes out from more than 200 meters underground through artificial drilling, with an outlet temperature of 62 degrees Celsius. Under the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions deep in the earth's layers and the mineralization effect of rare metals, the minerals in the water are all in ionized or gaseous states. The water quality is bright and clear, sterile, non-toxic, and free of sediment. Bathing in it makes the skin smooth and refreshing, providing an excellent bathing experience. According to tests conducted by the Environmental Health Monitoring Institute of the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, the mineralization degree of Longyou Chibi Hot Spring is 1312 mg/L, with a pH value of 7.3, containing over 30 essential trace elements and compounds needed by the human body. Based on the standards for natural drinking mineral water and medical mineral water in China, its lithium, strontium, fluoride, and silicic acid content and mineralization degree meet the naming boundary indicators for natural drinking mineral water and medical mineral water. Its water chemical type belongs to the silicic acid-containing, radioactive radon, sulfate-calcium spring type, also known as a weakly radioactive radon sulfate-calcium spring.
