In recent years domestic and international visitors who come to
the coastal city of Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa Province have been flocking
to the Thap Ba Hot Spring Centre where they enjoy bathing in mineral
water and soaking in mud, all the time being surrounded by scenic
landscape. They are also provided with health care and beauty services.
This area is a unique and attractive gift supplied by nature.
Situated about 4km north of Nha Trang City, Thap Ba Hot Spring Centre
covers an area of three hectares overlooked by mountains with the Cai
River running through it, creating a magnificent landscape with green
trees and colourful flowers. The Centre offers patrons relaxing
services, such as soaking in a bathtub of warm, mineral loaded mud or
swimming in the pool of mineral water, bathing under hundreds of warm
water jets or standing under the waterfall.
Those who like quietness and privacy can go to the very luxurious
convalescent quarter resort consisting of 14 apartments fitted with all
conveniences, where they are provided with services of indoor mineral
water bathing and mud soaking along with massage, acupuncture therapy
and beauty services.
Hoang Quang, Director of the Centre told us the history of this tourist site. In 1994 the Central Vietnam
Division of Hydrogeology and Engineering Geology undertook an
exploration of underground boring and discovered a source of mineral
water in Dac Loc Village of Vinh Phuong Commune, Nha Trang City.
As
the mineral water was hot and salty it could not be canned. The boring
holes was filled up so as not to affect the fields under cultivation. In
1995 a mine of inorganic mineral mud appeared unexpectedly. In the
rainy season, a large amount of mud inundated the fields, killing the
crops. Some managers in the health sector and investors had an idea to
use the mineral water and mud for medical treatments.
Over the past 10 years the number of people visiting Thap Ba Hot Spring
Centre has been on the rise. In 2001 the Centre received about 50,000
visitors and the number increased to 395,000 in 2008. It is expected
that this year the number of visitors to the Centre will again increase.
Many visitors come to the Centre several times a year for medical
treatments and each time they stay for a week.
Hot mineral water containing clean chloride sodium silica is taken from a
depth of 100m under the ground. At the temperature of 38-400C
the mineral substances in the water penetrate the body, giving a
relaxing and refreshing feeling. Mineral water helps reduce diseases
such as gout, rheumatism and neuritis. The mineral mud is inorganic with
the main element of chloride sodium silica and some dietary minerals
which have antiseptic characteristics. It is often used as a facial mask
for revitalizing the skin and for acne treatment.
Before leaving Thap Ba Hot Spring Centre
visitors usually call at its retail shop to buy jars of fresh or dry
mineral mud and bottles of mineral water as gifts for their relatives.
The Centre’s services and memories of the convalescent quarter leave an
undeletable impression on visitors.
