The water has an average temperature between 35C (95F) and 37C (98.6F) and contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate and other minerals, which make it suitable for bathing and the treatment of quite a few diseases such as Dermatitis, Rheumatism, Arthritis and Muscular Pain.

The Guanyin Palace in the Northern Hot Springs Park was built with iron tiles and stone pillars. There are also a stone Buddha of the Song Dynasty and a dragon pagoda of the Ming Dynasty in the park.
