Wulong Tiankeng Hot Springs, located in the Wulong District of Chongqing within the spectacular karst geological landscape that forms part of the South China Karst UNESCO World Heritage Site, are calcium and silica-rich springs emerging from the limestone formations of a region famous for its giant sinkholes (tiankeng), natural bridges, and cave systems. The springs' geothermal waters flow through a landscape of extraordinary geological drama, where the Furong River cuts through karst gorges, collapsed cave ceilings form natural bridges hundreds of metres wide, and giant dolines plunge hundreds of metres into the earth. Bathing in Wulong's thermal pools within this UNESCO-listed geological spectacle offers an experience that is simultaneously therapeutic and set within one of the most striking geological landscapes on Earth.

Insider tip — Wulong Tiankeng Hot Springs draw from deep karst aquifers beneath the spectacular Wulong karst landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its three natural sky bridges and collapsed cave pits known as tiankeng. The calcium-rich waters reflect the region's vast limestone geology, emerging clear and slightly alkaline at a comfortable 40°C. Several resort complexes have developed here to serve visitors exploring the nearby Furong Cave and Longshui Gorge scenic areas. The combination of karst scenery, underground rivers, and thermal bathing makes Wulong one of Chongqing's most complete nature-and-wellness destinations.
