Situated in Yiliang County, Tangchi Town is 40 kilometers away from
the downtown of Kunming. With beautiful rivers (lakes) and mountains,
 Tangchi Town abounds in geothermal resources and derives its name
 from the hotspring water whose highest temperature is 70 degrees
 Celsius (“Tang” means boiling water; “Chi” means pond or spring).

Sanyuesan: Temple Fair on lunar March 3rd
Besides the West Hill, Tangchi Town is another place to go in Kunming
 on lunar March 3rd because a temple fair is annually held there.
 Villagers from 18 villages of Tangchi swarm to join in the fair which
 is quite important for them. As a grand event to showcase the folk
 culture of Tangchi Town, the temple fair is an arena for people to
 appreciate Huadeng Opera, Caigaoqiao (Walking on Stilts), Lion Dance
and other folk artistic shows. However, what is the most important for
 the religious devotees during the fair is to make sacrifice to and
vows before Buddha or deities in Wanfo Temple.
