Sanming Hot Springs

Sanming Hot Springs is a natural geothermal destination in Sanming City, Fujian Province, southeastern China, set in a region of dramatic karst and granite mountain scenery along the upper Shaxī River that makes Fujian's interior one of the province's most scenically rewarding areas. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerge from the complex geological structure of the Wuyi and Jiulong Mountain ranges at comfortable therapeutic temperatures, and are offered in modern resort facilities that blend Chinese bathing tradition with the subtropical character of the Fujian highlands. The area around Sanming is rich in natural attractions including the Taining Danxia UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its spectacular red sandstone cliffs and gorges, and the ancient Qingliu Earthen Building complexes that reflect the distinctive Hakka architecture of western Fujian. Sanming Hot Springs offers a quality thermal experience in a corner of Fujian that rewards exploration with some of the province's finest natural and architectural heritage beyond the better-known coastal destinations.
