Province hopes to rejuvenate hot spring culture

Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province, has recently launched a series of projects aimed at rejuvenating its millennium-old hot spring culture.

Fuzhou hot spring has a long history, which can be dated back to 1,700 years ago. In the early Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127), an "official bath" and "civilian bath" were built.

As time has changed and people's living pace quickened, the traditional hot spring culture has been forgotten. Young people are not aware of the hot spring tradition and few ever visit the hot spring venue.
