Tangquan Town, with a 1600-year history, is a Jiangnan town known for scenic views, hot springs, ancient forests, and historic temples. It features unique radon and dual-temperature springs, boasting Jiangsu's highest geothermal water flow. Historically, outdoor hot springs and communal baths were common, but many are now privatized or abandoned. To create an eco-friendly, shared hot springs, and vibrant tourism town, the design team proposed publicizing hot springs and developing a themed route with slow traffic lanes, integrating resources with urban spaces for diverse, communal experiences.
