Near the springs of Tangshan Hot Spring, people can see many natural minerals with good crystallization.

Among them are white, light yellow, gray and other colors of rhombohedral calcite, as well as light yellow, light green, lavender cubic or octahedral fluorite.

His daughter contracted a "bad disease" and sought medical treatment everywhere, but she was not cured. Later, he heard that Tangshan Spring could cure the disease, so he sent his daughter to Tangshan to take a bath.
