(23.341685,121.222860) The water flow in Lele River is as strong as it is in Jianianduan, so this river trace is definitely an expert's route rather than a beginner's one. The outcrop is 58 degrees Celsius, but a pool for at most two people is o ... nly possible with a very big tarp and great effort for half a day, probably not the best wild hot spring in the world, or far from it. There is another pool in the sand with slightly warm hot spring water, one hundred meters from Kakalang's main outcrop--so little warm that it is even kind of chilling on a winter day.

But the pools gurantee steady temperature from 38 to 45+, though not hot enough for eggs. Peng Peng Hot Spring is very popular in hot spring season, and tents are often seen. Peng Peng Hot Spring disappears every year after a t ... yphoon. Around November or December, the local villagers use an excavator to dig for the hot spring pools. Peng Peng(芃芃)or Fan Fan (梵梵) are both said for the very same place, and the former was the original name. Pengpeng, or Bonbon, means the bubbling sound in the hot spring. In 1970, a local administrator mixed up two different Chinese characters(梵 for 芃) on a document, which is the reason of the two different names for the one hot spring.
