Insider tip — Ruidian Hot Springs lie in the deep river gorges of far western Yunnan, near the Myanmar border in a geothermally active zone fed by the same volcanic belt as Tengchong. The high-temperature sulfurous waters emerge along riverbanks framed by dramatic subtropical cliffs and dense forest. The town of Ruidian serves as a trading hub between China and Myanmar, giving the area a distinct cross-border cultural flavour. Cooled bathing pools allow visitors to enjoy the mineral waters against a spectacular natural backdrop.
