Huangshan Hot Spring (Wenquan) at the base of Yellow Mountain (Huangshan) in Anhui Province is a siliceous and bicarbonate spring that has welcomed travellers and pilgrims for over a thousand years at the foot of one of China's most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage landscapes — the granite peaks, twisted pines, sea of clouds, and hot springs that define Huangshan's extraordinary natural aesthetic. The spring water, emerging cool and pure from the mountain's granite formations, was historically used for drinking as well as bathing and celebrated in Chinese classical literature and painting. Huangshan's thermal spring tradition is inseparable from the mountain's cultural identity as the defining image of classical Chinese landscape painting and a place of artistic and spiritual pilgrimage.
