随着合肥徽州大道南延庐江段通车，汤池真正成了合肥温暖的后花园。
合肥出发，约一个小时车程就到了汤池。这里生态优美，青山环抱中有金汤湖碧波潋滟，马果山连绵起伏，山外是平畴河渠，丘陵起伏之间，茶山相连。
俯瞰汤池镇，圆顶建筑为国轩温泉宫
A bird-eye view of Tangchi Town, the dome is the Gotion Hot Spring Palace
About an hour's drive from Hefei you will arrive at Tangchi, an ecologically beautiful place alsoknown for its hot springs.
汤池的标配当然是温泉。地处北纬31°神奇地带，汤池自古就是温泉胜地。相传王安石任舒州通判时，曾在汤池洗过温泉，留有诗句：“寒泉诗所咏，独此沸如蒸。” 可见暖泉的水温很高。
登上二姑峰的金汤阁，可俯瞰全镇风貌。一号泉、国轩温泉宫、金孔雀温泉，在山脚下错落有致。
书法家陶天月题写的“一号泉”，大气、敦厚。走进大门，只见布局紧凑，白墙灰瓦，园林式风格，具有沐浴、餐饮、商务等多种业态。
国轩温泉宫内儿童乐园

Located in the miraculous zone 31 degrees north latitude, Tangchi has been a hot spring resort since ancient times. Around the mouth of the hot spring are several spa facilities, respectively called Yihao Spring, Gotion Hot Spring Palace and Golden Peacock Hot Spring.
这里的张经理说，一号泉水井常年保持63.1℃，富含几十种矿物质成分。换上泳衣，一个转身， 各种浴池展现在眼前。水面上，茫茫热气，将气氛营造得如梦如幻，仙境一般。缓缓走进水 中，慢慢躺下，暖流吻着身体，温暖流入心间。“温泉暖滑留余香，芙蓉出水红生光”的意 境，瞬间感受是那么真切。
金孔雀温泉旅游度假区
The Golden Peacock Hot Spring Tourist Holiday Resort
With white walls and gray tiles, Yihao Spring is in a garden style. The water temperature is rich in minerals. I changed in my swimsuit, turned around and see various spa pools. Over the pools is a layer of thick steam, turning the place into something like a fairyland in a dreamlike atmosphere.
Many people come here to experience floating baths. Lying in the pool with a buoyant neck-pillow around your neck, you will float in the pool. Now relax and you will fall into a sound sleep.
许多人来这里体验漂浮浴。脖子上套上枕头，往池子里一躺，完全浮了起来，周边安静，热气氤氲中，人彻底放松，可以静静入睡，让水中的矿物质完全与肌肤相融。
露天温泉泳池畔有凉亭药用泡池。几位姑娘披着洁白的浴巾，在寒风中奔跑。她们跑向露天温泉泳池旁的一排浴缸，钻了进去，只露出头在水面，神态惬意。洁白的帐幔透着热气。如果有古筝轻吟，雪花飞舞，则是动人的古典画面。
沐浴在一号泉
Bathing in the pool of the Yihao Spring (No. 1 hot spring)
走进国轩温泉宫，第一感觉是震撼。巨大的球形壳体，高度55米，直径138米，灯光璀璨，宛如星辰，梦幻一般。天穹笼罩下，左侧为假山，室内各种养生浴池，满足不同需求。右侧为水上乐园，地中海式风格。夏日里，来这里冲浪，自然是清凉、刺激，酷爽中感受超级的海边快乐。
沿着台阶，走上假山。人造的树木点缀，桃花烂漫。木桶浴、牛奶浴、药浴等浴池错落其间。雾气蒸腾，好像是仙宫，俊男靓女穿行，仿佛是没有尘世喧嚣的世界。放下浴巾，缓缓走进牛奶浴池，洁白的温泉水轻吻肌肤，爽滑的感觉弥漫全身。
一号泉内景
An interior view of the Yihao Spring (No. 1 hot spring)
Wrapped themselves in white towels, several young ladies run in the cold wind to a row of bathtubs next to the open-air hot spring pools. They get into the tubs with only their heads above the water, looking rather comfy. Over the white curtain comes out hotsteam. The scene could be more touching if there were guzheng music and flying snowflakes.
In front of Gotion Hot Spring Palace, you will immediately feel astonished. The magnificent building under a huge dome is 55 meters in height and 138 meters in diameter. The inside of thebuilding is well illuminated, with lights like stars in the sky, making people feel as if they were in a dream. Under the dome are a rock garden, hotel rooms and various health spa pools on the left, and a water park in Mediterranean style on the right – surfing there in summer could be naturally cool and exciting.
Following the steps you can reach the top of the rockery, where you can see artificial trees decorated with man-made peach flowers in full bloom. You can also see well-arranged spa poolsfor milk bath or herb bath, as well as wood tubs,. The whole areain hot steam is like a heavenlypalace.

金孔雀是汤池的老牌温泉，传统的园林建筑里，可以感受舒适、恬静温泉疗养。
春寒赐浴，温泉水滑。冬日里汤池，属于养生，属于健康，属于快乐。
