Nanshan Hot Springs

Nanshan Hot Springs in the Shuangyang District of Changchun, Jilin Province, are bicarbonate geothermal springs developed into a resort destination that combines traditional Chinese hot spring bathing with the natural scenery of the Jilin hills in northeastern China. Changchun, known as the 'City of Automobiles' and former capital of the Manchukuo puppet state, draws on the geothermal resources of the Changbai volcanic region, whose underground waters travel far from their volcanic source before emerging across the Jilin highlands. Nanshan's springs provide urban Changchun residents with a readily accessible natural wellness retreat in a region whose long, cold continental winters make the appeal of warm mineral pools particularly pronounced.
