Abstract
Tengchong is the main volcanogeothermal region on the Chinese mainland where active thermal springs discharge fiercely around the margin of the Cenozoic volcanic cones. The Rehai (Hot Sea) geothermal field is the largest one. In this paper, a review of the results and a summary of the findings by the geological, geochemical and geophysical reconnaissance surveys, carried out in the Rehai field by the scientists from Pelting University and engineers from Yunnan Geology and Mineral Resources Bureau since is presented. The aim of this review is to attract scientists' attention and promote the development of the Rehai.
