The main  attraction there is called Dagunguo (Big Boiling Bowl), a large 
spring  that reaches a temperature of 97 degrees centigrade. Locals offer 
visitors  eggs cooked in the spring's heat. Hot water is ejected 
intermittently 
into  the nearby streams with a thunderous roar. The water in the hot spring  
contains a wide variety of minerals. 
Among the numerous smaller  springs and geysers, the park also has cooler 
springs suitable for a swim,  including Frog Mouth, Lion Head, Pearl Spring 
and 
Drum-beat Spring. The  waterfall on the Zaotang River is also an attraction.


Yes, and another is called Bird-Snatching Spring, and there's Pregnancy  
Inducing Pool, too. According to at least one report I have, there are at least  
19 geysers at Rehai, but I suspect most of them are boiling spouters rather 
than  true geysers.
