Jiuxianqiao Mountain Hotsprings - Between The Wall and Beijing



After our cool and windy walk along the top of the Great Wall of China - the ladies wanted to swim. After a nice buffet lunch - we went to this beautiful spa resort.

The spa has pools of different sizes and temperatures. The girls settled mostly into this grotto area with about 99 degree water. Of course the water is supposed to have healing powers - but most of the people in the water still looked old. It reminded me of our trip to Iceland. When I was teaching about volcanoes and geysers - I would show the pictures of hot swimming pools with people swimming with snow around. Everyone was young - pretty - skinny - blue eyes and blonde. When we got there - everyone was wrinkled and old - like us. Same here. Honestly - the prettiest two are above.
