Located in Longsheng, Guilin, Guangxi Province, the Longji Hot Springs are a natural wonder that offers a unique thermal experience. The springs feature bicarbonate-rich water, traditionally associated with relaxation. Visitors can soak in the warm waters and enjoy stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This ancient spa has been a popular destination for centuries.
Insider tip — Longji Hot Springs (Dragon's Spine) take their name from the famous rice terraces carved into the surrounding mountains by the Zhuang and Yao ethnic minorities over centuries, creating a landscape of breathtaking geometry above Longsheng County. The bicarbonate waters feed resort pools set among bamboo groves at the foot of the terrace system, making it possible to soak in thermal waters while gazing up at the terraced hillsides. Visit in late May when the flooded terraces mirror the sky, or in October when the golden harvest turns the slopes into layered fields of amber.
