Experience the rejuvenating power of Emei Shan Hot Springs, nestled at the foot of China's sacred Mount Emei, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the four Buddhist mountains in China. Soak in the warm, bicarbonate-rich waters, said to ease muscle tension and promote overall well-being. Surrounded by lush greenery, this natural oasis offers breathtaking views of the Sichuan countryside. A serene retreat for body and soul.
Insider tip — The hot springs at the foot of Mount Emei, one of China's Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains, offer pilgrims and trekkers a restorative soak after descending from the cloud-draped summit temples. The bicarbonate-rich waters emerge from the limestone foundations of Emei's dramatic escarpment amid thick subtropical forest where red pandas and Tibetan macaques inhabit the surrounding reserve. Soaking here at dusk when the mountain mists roll in from the Sichuan Basin creates an atmosphere of profound tranquility.
