 Riyuegu Hotsprings — one of Asia's Best!
Adapted from Amoy Magic© 2007 by Dr. Bill Brown



I was reading an airline magazine on a trans-Pacific flight when I learned that one of Asia's top ten hot springs resorts is Riyuegu (Sun Moon Valley), in Xinglin District (杏林区), just 20 minutes outside of Xiamen! They have 72 open-air pools and thirty - five specialty hot springs (milk bath, beer bath, rose bath? You name it, they'll soak you in it! ).


Virtually every hot springs in China is said to have beneficial ailments that will cure your ills, and this place is no exception. They say the waters which bubble forth at 82ºC posses traces of potassium, sodium, calcium, manganese, bromine, magnesium, etc. Frequent soaking in Sun Moon Valley will relieve your arteriosclerosis, gynecological disorders, high cholesterol, diabetes, skin diseases, insomnia, arthritis, and digestive ailments - plus encourage blood circulation and cell regeneration! Ponce De Leon was on the wrong continent! But Sun Moon Valley's claims date back long before Leon's birth.


Inroom hotspring pool Stories of Sun Moon Valley supposedly date back over 1000 years. And about 500 years ago, a high ranking Ming Dynasty official, Mr. Ding Yizhong (丁一中), who enjoyed trekking through the mountains, heard of the springs' curative properties and promptly immersed himself. It is said he experienced such bliss that he wrote some verses about it, in which he noted the springs were found neither in the city or the mountains but on simple agricultural land, next to a road, so common folk could enjoy a bath without having to waste fire wood - a gift from heaven to the common folk.


The stone plaque with the inscription was discovered in the 1980s by Mr. Bai Yusheng (白玉盛) a returned Indonesian Chinese who taught at Haicang Dongfu Elementary School (海沧区东孚小学) The plaque identified the springs as being at the site of Sun Moon Valley.


Whether the medicinal claims are true or not, it is a delightful place to spend a day or a weekend.
