the sauna trip　　by:Dren Yihway

　
　　After a morning's work, everyone was happy to join the afternoon hotspring party.When I slowly put my hand down, I thought: why is it so hot! It felt like someone is buring my body, and I keep seeing mists around me, but after a while it felt pretty good.

　When i went over to the coldtub, all my bodyheat is dissolved, and I got a taste of early winter. After that we went to the "baking oven" and sweated a lot.

　It was a great experience, and I hope we get to do it again.

the old glory of mining area

　As we stand on the watchspot of Dahuang Mouth, and glaze over the beautiful lake, we can't believe that this beautifulmanmade lake used to be the relics left almost three hundred years ago.It was a great age back when there were mining activities. People come afar to work here. And it is because of the precious mines here, the Ching government burned the mountain regularly to prevent theft. Nowadays, it is easy for us to think back on her glory by simply enjoying the colorful rocks that surround the trails and the wonderful lake.

　Dahuang Mouth is a smoky, steamy valley, and around every puffing hole we see a 人manmade hotspring well made of cement. There are workers constantly making sure the wells are safe and working properly.

　If we channel the creek water to the steamy puffing hole, we will produce much of the Baytow area hotspring .Just looking at them is a sight to remember. There is an interesting contrast between the two rock layers: one is the five finger mountain layer of 23 million years ago, and next to it is the relatively younger layer of just two million years.It is due to the compressing and squeezing effect of grounds and rock layers that we get to see this special ecological scene

tourist's paradise

by:Chen Yin

　I think it's a great scenic place. But perhaps the tourists were too excited, because many places suffered damages already. In addition, it's a great place to take photographs. The traffic is convenient, and thus I, like many other people, consider this place a great scenic place.

 

Putting what you learned to practice

by:Kan Po-Yu

　From a total stranger to a true admirer of the place, I've learned so much about her from reading extensively about her and conducting many interviews and trips to this place. This tells me that we must always go to the actual site that you read in books to get a true sense of the place.

renovating the new Dahuang Mouth- hotspring mining area
renovator:Kan Po-Yu,Chen Yin

current positioning	'remake' blueprint

• idea one:The trails here are mostly made of hard rocks, but on the day we went to visit her, we found that the rocks are damaged severely. So we wish to renovate the trails to make her not only more beautiful, but safer for everyone as well.
• idea two:There is a small watchspot near hear, and the famous manmade lake--Dahuang Mouth is right underneath. We wish to build safety bar around it so that people know exactly where it is and not to go down there because of safety reasons.
• idea three:There are some old huts nearby and are pretty old and ugly. We wish to clean the place up and turn it into a brand new outdoor mine museum and make the information about this place more accesible to tourist who come here.
• idea four:Currently, the monuments that tell the history of this place are being occpied by many food stands and other types of business settings. Thus, tourists can barely read what is being written on the monuments. We feel that in order to love a place, you must first get to know her background and history; thus we wish to clear out the different food stands and make room for the tourists to freely and comfortably read what is being said on the monuments.
