Daqing Hot Springs are located in Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, China's oil capital — a purpose-built petroleum extraction city whose Daqing Oilfield, discovered in 1959 and developed under Mao Zedong's slogan "In Industry, Learn from Daqing," transformed this former marshland into one of the world's most productive onshore oil producing areas and a political symbol of Chinese industrial self-reliance during the Cold War era. The bicarbonate thermal waters here are associated with the geological formations that also contain the Daqing petroleum deposits, both resources reflecting the deep sedimentary geology of the Songliao Basin whose subsurface wealth has made Daqing synonymous with Chinese industrial development and national energy security. Bathing at Daqing Hot Springs in this extraordinary industrial city provides a therapeutic counterpoint to the petroleum extraction heritage that has defined Daqing's identity and continues to shape the industrial landscape of this flat Heilongjiang oil city.
