Peng Peng(芃芃)or Fan Fan (梵梵) are both said for the very same place, and the former was the original name. Pengpeng, or Bonbon, means the bubbling sound in the hot spring. In 1970, a local administrator mixed up two different Chinese characters(梵 for 芃) on a document, which is the reason of the two different names for the one hot spring. -
