Ruijin Hot Springs

Ruijin Hot Springs is a geothermal bathing destination in Ruijin City, Jiangxi Province, southeastern China, a place of profound historical significance as the cradle of the Chinese Communist revolution — the Soviet Republic of China was established here in 1931, and Ruijin was the starting point of the Long March. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerging from the red sandstone and granite geology of the Jiangxi highlands offer therapeutic bathing in a setting embedded in some of the most historically charged landscape in modern Chinese history. The surrounding countryside of Jiangxi's southern highlands, with its ancient hakka earth buildings, red laterite soil, and lush subtropical vegetation, creates an atmosphere of deep historical and natural richness. Ruijin Hot Springs allows visitors to combine the restorative pleasure of natural mineral water bathing with an encounter with the foundational events of 20th-century Chinese history in one of Jiangxi's most historically significant destinations.
