赤城温泉 Chicheng Spring

我和爸爸去了趟赤城温泉，这里环境优美，山清水秀，有治病保健功效的温泉驰名远近。
We went to Chicheng, a small town near my hometown. There's a famous, hot spring in its moutainous region. It has long history and its mineral water can cure certain diseases.


温泉附近的山间公路。从张家口方向前往温泉和县城必经之路。这张实际是在回来的路上拍的。
This is the road leading to Chicheng. Very fine scenary.




为什么这么有名呢？一在历史悠久，二在开发彻底。温泉所在的山谷里光大小旅馆就有十几家。真是赞叹赤城县政府的工作效率，小小山谷几年内搞得像商业街。但 是管理人士似乎终于无法忍受高档的餐饮、服务设施与落后、陈旧的温泉景点之间的不协调，于是开始了对老温泉景点的彻底翻修工作。我们恰好赶上了进展到一半的工程，瞧这一片乱糟糟！
The spring is under re-construction because people decided that the old antique facilities there do not match fast growing hotels around. I used to be here many times in my childhood but now everything is in a mess!



幸好，不管人怎么折腾，山还是依旧那么青...
Hills and valleys are still green there...



从施工工地往上走，还能找到待翻新的温泉眼和古庙。庙叫什么？抱歉忘了 :)
An old temple, waiting to be renovated. Sorry I forgot its name.


这就是大名鼎鼎的赤城温泉！从这一眼小井里流出的热气腾腾、带硫磺味儿的胃泉水（治疗胃病！），和周围静谧的满山树木构成了我小时候的美妙记忆之一。可现在它周围的环境让它看起来就像 ... 一个下水井，我们死活没有敢把水杯伸下去打点水品尝。
Ahh... yes! This is the Spring! It's water can cure stomach disorder. I felt sorry that it currently looks like sewer, but it is still the famous spring.


里面的泉水依旧流淌。我问旁边的一位工人师傅，他称这水能喝，在这里施工的人都在喝。
This is how the spring looks like.
