Tianmu Hot Spring, in the Lin'an district of Hangzhou city near the ancient Tianmu Mountain nature reserve in Zhejiang Province, draws on bicarbonate and chloride thermal waters in a setting of exceptional natural beauty — the Tianmu Mountain UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, where ancient stands of dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) and Japanese cypress survive as living relics of the prehistoric forest that once covered much of East Asia. The naturally mineralised bicarbonate-chloride waters, emerging from the geological formations of the Tianmu range, are used in therapeutic bathing that combines Chinese traditional medicine principles with modern wellness techniques in a forest hot spring environment treasured for its clean air and biodiversity. The proximity of Hangzhou — home to the UNESCO West Lake cultural landscape and one of China's most refined cities of classical gardens, tea culture, and Song dynasty arts — makes Tianmu Hot Spring an ideally positioned retreat within easy reach of one of China's greatest cultural destinations.

Insider tip — Tianmu Hot Spring draws from deep saline aquifers beneath the Tianmu mountains west of Hangzhou, where the spring waters emerge at 45°C with a strong sodium-chloride composition ideal for skin and circulation. The resort is set in a UNESCO-adjacent forest reserve famed for its ancient Chinese beech and silver fir trees. Spring visits coincide with West Lake tea-picking season in nearby Hangzhou. The covered outdoor pools allow year-round bathing in all weather.
