Beijing Changling Hot Spring in Changping district draws sulfated mineral water from the geothermal zone northwest of Beijing's center, set in the Changping basin beneath the Jundu Mountains where the extraordinary Ming Tombs (Shisanling) — the vast UNESCO World Heritage necropolis of thirteen Ming dynasty emperors spread across a sacred mountain valley — provide one of China's most historically atmospheric settings for a thermal bathing facility. The volcanic sulfated spring water is channeled into resort pools that serve Beijing's northern suburban population and heritage tourists visiting the Ming Tombs and Badaling Great Wall section, providing natural mineral bathing within the historical landscape of China's second imperial dynasty. The combination of sulfated mineral bathing and the extraordinary imperial necropolis heritage of the Changping area — where the Sacred Way of stone guardian animals and officials leads through the mountain valley to thirteen emperor's tomb mounds — creates a thermal experience in one of China's most historically charged and scenically impressive suburban landscapes.
