Hebei Chengde Mountain Resort Spa draws chloride-rich mineral water from the geothermal zone of the Chengde basin in the mountains north of Beijing, where the extraordinary Imperial Mountain Resort (Bishu Shanzhuang) — the Qing dynasty summer capital and UNESCO World Heritage Site — represents one of the greatest landscape garden design achievements in Chinese imperial history, its 564-hectare park of lakes, temples, forests, and pavilions constructed across 87 years by three successive Qing emperors. The thermal spa facilities serve the heritage tourism center of Chengde, where the Eight Outer Temples surrounding the imperial summer palace — including the extraordinary miniature Potala Palace replica and the Tibetan stupa complex — reflect the Qing dynasty's multicultural Manchu, Han, Mongolian, and Tibetan imperial synthesis at its most architecturally ambitious. Combining chloride mineral bathing with the extraordinary imperial landscape garden heritage of Chengde creates a thermal experience embedded in the most magnificent surviving example of Qing dynasty garden design and diplomatic architecture in China.
