Puzhehei Hot Spring is a natural thermal bathing site in Qiubei county of Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan Province, adjacent to the spectacular Puzhehei Scenic Area — a landscape of jade-green lakes dotted with limestone karst islets draped in lotus flowers and surrounded by the villages of the Zhuang, Yi, and Miao ethnic minorities. The calcium-enriched thermal waters support skin health and musculoskeletal wellbeing, providing relaxation in a setting of remarkable karst lake beauty that draws visitors from across China and Southeast Asia for its extraordinary scenery. The blend of karst water landscapes, ethnic minority cultural richness, and thermal bathing makes Puzhehei one of China's most picturesque and culturally diverse hot spring destinations.

Insider tip — Puzhehei Hot Spring sits amid the stunning lotus-covered lakes and karst pinnacles of Wenshan Prefecture in southeastern Yunnan, where calcium-rich waters seep through ancient limestone into tranquil open-air pools at 39°C. The combination of thermal bathing and Puzhehei Scenic Area's extraordinary water-lotus landscapes makes this one of Yunnan's most photogenic spring destinations. The Zhuang and Miao minority villages surrounding the area offer authentic cultural encounters. Late June to September when the lotus blooms are at peak offers the most spectacular scenery.
