Qingcheng Mountain Hot Springs are thermal springs located near the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan city, Sichuan Province, one of the two birthplaces of Chinese Taoism — a site of profound spiritual significance where the first Taoist communities established themselves in the 2nd century CE under Zhang Daoling, the founder of the Tianshi Dao tradition. The bicarbonate thermal waters emerge from the volcanic and metamorphic geology of the western Sichuan basin edge, offering therapeutic bathing within the sacred Taoist atmosphere of one of China's four sacred Taoist mountains. The combination of Qingcheng's extraordinary Taoist temple heritage, pristine mountain forest, the nearby 2,200-year-old Dujiangyan irrigation system (another UNESCO World Heritage Site), and natural bicarbonate hot springs creates a uniquely spiritually and historically charged thermal destination in the heart of Sichuan.
