Wuling Hot Springs

Wuling Hot Springs is a geothermal bathing destination in western Hunan Province, China, located in the Wuling Mountain area near the Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture — a region of extraordinary cultural diversity and natural beauty where the ancient ethnic cultures of the Tujia, Miao, Dong, and other minority peoples have preserved traditions of music, craftsmanship, and festival culture for centuries. The bicarbonate mineral waters emerge from the karst and metamorphic geology of the Wuling Mountains at comfortable therapeutic temperatures, and the region's thermal resources are developed in facilities that serve both local communities and visitors drawn to western Hunan's exceptional natural and cultural attractions. The surrounding landscape of the western Hunan highlands — dramatic sandstone peaks and gorges reminiscent of the famous landscapes of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park nearby, traditional stilted wooden houses, and the green terraced valleys of the Xiangxi river system — creates an extraordinary setting for a geothermal wellness experience. Wuling Hot Springs offers thermal bathing immersed in one of China's most culturally and scenically distinctive minority culture landscapes.
