streams.

width, includes many big and small lakes which create streams with a small
flow.
5. The largest zone is a 100 square metres lake with more than a metres depth.
6. This is the hottest place where water always bubble up and vaporize, which
creates an enormous steam pot.
7. The tempareture of the water surface is about 64 Degree Celcius and the
bottom is 84 Degree Celcius.

can buy eggs and take them into sedge baskets and dip them into the water,
after 15-20 minutes we will have poached egg dishes.

our hands and feets in water for healing purpose.

green. Types of trees which have cluster roots and hard leaves still live with
the years, which create natural’s amazing beauty.

each group of tourists, families or couples to soak their feet and enjoy the
view of forests and moutains.
