BEIJING, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Evelyn Caridad Leyva Romero, a journalist from the Latin America News Agency, recently visited Mingyue Mountain in Yichun City, east China's Jiangxi Province. She was deeply impressed by its unique hot springs and profound moon culture, and witnessed how the integration of culture and tourism is driving rural revitalization.

The hot springs of Mingyue Mountain are rich in selenium, with water temperature consistently maintained at 68 to 72 degrees centigrade year-round. The daily water output reaches 10,000 tonnes.

Leyva Romero learned that residents from over 30 provinces and cities across China have purchased properties here, totaling more than 10,000 households. Among them, residents from Shanghai alone account for over 6,000 households.

Leveraging the hot spring resources, the local area has developed traditional Chinese medicine therapies, selenium-rich agricultural products, and homestay industries, significantly increasing villagers' incomes.

"The selenium content and constant temperature of the hot springs are astonishing, no wonder they attract so many tourists," Leyva Romero remarked. She learned about a retired Shanghai teacher whose mild arthritis pain significantly improved after soaking in the springs for half a year.

Located just 15 kilometers from downtown Yichun, Mingyue Mountain centers its tourism experience around "Moon Culture." Leyva Romero took a ride on the "Chang'e" alpine sightseeing train and strolled along the Qingyun Plank Road, enjoying the scenery of sea of clouds, forests, and villages along the way.

The scenic area features over 300 stone carvings of moon-themed poems from various dynasties. Local customs, cuisine, and accommodation names all incorporate moon elements. 

Chen Lei, deputy general manager of the scenic area, explained that unique projects like the alpine train, skiing, and camping attract tourists from all over the country.

Leyva Romero also visited the 3,150-acre Twenty-Four Bridges Moon Garden, a forest health and wellness base which themes around moon culture and bridge culture, and integrates agricultural sightseeing, forest wellness, and folk experience.

Leyva Romero stated that Mingyue Mountain's natural landscape, hot spring culture, and the humanistic care and community connection it embodies showcase the wisdom of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature. 

Chen Lei expressed that future efforts will be made on strengthening international promotion, aiming to make Mingyue Mountain a renowned wellness tourism destination globally.
