Jiangxi Lushan Mountain Hot Spring draws bicarbonate and chloride-rich mineral water from the geothermal zone of the Lushan massif near Jiujiang — the legendary mountain resort whose misty peaks, waterfalls, and alpine meadows inspired over 4,000 poems by the greatest writers of Chinese civilization including Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, and Tao Yuanming, who wrote his famous utopian 'Peach Blossom Spring' in the Lushan foothills. The Lushan massif is a UNESCO World Heritage Site combining outstanding natural beauty — including the famous Wulao Peak, the Xianren Cave cliff pool, and the spectacular Sandie Spring waterfall — with a remarkable 20th-century heritage of the Guling colonial summer resort built by foreign missionaries and the consequential 1959 Lushan Conference that shaped modern Chinese history. Combining bicarbonate mineral bathing with the extraordinary literary, natural, and political heritage of Lushan — one of the most intellectually and aesthetically charged mountains in all of Chinese civilization — creates a thermal experience of exceptional cultural depth in the Yangtze River highlands.

Insider tip — Lushan Mountain Hot Spring sits amid one of China's most celebrated mountain resorts, where classical poets and modern leaders alike sought refuge from summer heat. The bicarbonate-rich waters bubble up through granite bedrock at the foot of misty ridges frequently shrouded in clouds, making a winter soak especially memorable.
