According to scientists, the spring water contains more than ten elements beneficial to health, and is very good both for maintaining health and treating ailments. It has been proven to have certain curative effects for stomach trouble, iron deficiency anemia, chronic cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation), neurasthenia (nerve exhaustion), skin disease, and high blood pressure, and so on. Hence, it is also called "Divine Spring" and "Holy Water."
Today there are more than fifty sanatoria in the lake area, which can accommodate thousands of people every year.

During a visit to Wudalianchi Scenic Area, the former minister of China's National Defense Ministry -- General Zhang Aiping -- improvised a poem, depicting the open, imposing, and magnificent view of the area. Tens of thousands of years ago, the area was an extensive stretch of wildness, but thanks to the crustal movement, volcano cones rose straight from the ground one after another, breaking the silence of the wildness.

There were originally 12 old volcanoes, lined on both sides of the Bai River and covered with lush vegetation, forming a lively pre-historical painting full of wild interest. With the eruption of mountains Laohei and Huoshao, Mother Nature put the finishing touch to her huge long-lasting project, creating the spectacular volcanic landscapes -- the Wudalianchi Scenic Area.

As a member of the UN Human & Biosphere Protection Organization, the scenic area is also among the first batch of China's world geology parks. Experts from world tourism organizations have praised the place as one of the "Top World Tourism Resources." Yue-sai Kan, the famous Chinese-American TV anchor, once claimed Wudalianchi spring water had brought her "an amazing and unspeakable surprise."
