If you go at a popular time such as + on the weekend or if it has rained recently, you may need to + bring your own shovel to dig a hole (otherwise you can use a + hole someone else has dug). + </p> + <p> + There are a few entrances to these hot springs. When I went the only accessible one was as follows. + Drive to the <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/gU5ZtRuE7G6Vkypj8">hot springs entrance</a>. If you're + driving from Luye City, it is located past the red Hongye + Bridge but before the private Vakangan resort. The entrance is + to the right of a traffic mirror and is currently boarded up + with metal and warnings not to enter (in Mandarin). Park your + vehicle, ignore the warnings, and enter from the left side of + the metal boards. + </p> + <img src="/travelogue/static/img/hongye-entrance.jpg"> + <p> + Walk down the stairs until you get to a rock cliff. If there + are other people at the hot springs they should be visible from + here. You will see a rope you can use to rappel down the (~15 + foot) steep face down to the riverbed. There are a few + footholds but it’s not the easiest climb down. The + warnings mentioned above say that the rope may be unstable; + descend at your own risk. + </p> + <p> + Walk forward until you arrive at the riverbed. You should see many holes + dug by others; you can use them or dig your own if you brought a shovel. + Apparently most of the holes are dug by a 90 year old man. + </p> + <p> + To cool down, you can carefully hop into the river for a bit. + Alternatively, you can build temperature and depth control for + your pool by digging narrow conduits from the upstream river + into your pool and from your pool into the downstream river. + By opening the upstream conduit, river water flows into and + cools your pool. The downstream conduit allows you to control + the depth of your pool. + </p> + <img src="/travelogue/static/img/hongye-inpool.jpg"> + <br><br> + <img src="/travelogue/static/img/hongye-pool2.jpg"> + <p> + There is another (perhaps previously accessible) entrance next to the bridge.
