Recording the year in Chengdu (4)

2021年11月14日

While chatting with the old lady, I learned that their hot spring has been there for a long time and has an endless supply. She doesn’t know how long it has been there. Anyway, she has had it since she was a child. The water quality is very good, the sulfur content is very low, and you can drink it directly. They have been drinking it for generations. I looked at the cabin. It was quite nice. There was a single pool inside, which was paved with tiles. I bought a bottle of beer from her house, paid five yuan, and told the old lady to open one~

I rarely soak in hot springs. March in Daocheng is very cold, but the afternoon sunshine here is very warm. Daocheng is 3,400 meters above sea level. The plateau sunshine is very powerful in winter. The water is very hot. A hole is opened in the wooden roof, and you can see the blue sky of Daocheng. It is super quiet. I soak in the hot springs, drink beer, and lie limply in the pool, looking at the pure blue sky. Without any beautiful scenery, I already have an urge to cry. It is not sadness, but a hearty catharsis.

It is easy to get dizzy when soaking in hot springs on the plateau, and I drank beer, which made me dizzy. I came out and drank butter tea for a while, and then I recovered. At this time, the male host came back. A middle-aged man, much younger than the old lady, turned out to be her husband. There was an age difference of more than ten years. I told him, I want to rent your house and open an inn.
