Benxi Hot Springs

Benxi Hot Springs are located in Benxi City, Liaoning Province, in the Hunhe River valley of northeastern China, near the extraordinary Benxi Water Cave — one of China's most remarkable natural phenomena and the world's longest known navigable underground river, where tourists travel 2.8 kilometers by boat through illuminated limestone caverns of surpassing beauty, making the Benxi area a destination of exceptional natural attractions both above and below ground. The bicarbonate-enriched thermal waters here complement a city that has transformed from one of Northeast China's major steel-producing centers into a nature tourism destination, with the mineral springs serving both local residents and visitors drawn to the remarkable karst geology of the Benxi region. Bathing at Benxi Hot Springs provides a restorative experience in an area of geological wonders, where the thermal mineral waters of the Hunhe River valley complement the extraordinary underground limestone cave system that has made the Benxi area one of Liaoning's most remarkable natural heritage destinations.
