Wuzhou Hot Springs

Wuzhou Hot Springs are geothermal springs in Wuzhou city in eastern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, a historic river port city at the confluence of the Xun and Guijiang rivers that served for centuries as a major commercial gateway between Guangdong and the Guangxi interior, where bicarbonate thermal waters from the ancient Devonian and Carboniferous limestone geology of the Guangxi karst terrain offer bathing within a long thermal tradition in a subtropical riverside setting. Wuzhou is celebrated throughout China for its centuries-old herbal industry, particularly the production of Guilinggao — tortoise jelly — a traditional Chinese food whose production has been centered in Wuzhou for over a millennium and reflects the city's deep roots in traditional Chinese culinary and wellness culture. The bicarbonate thermal bathing of Wuzhou thus enriches a city already deeply embedded in Chinese wellness traditions, offering a thermal experience informed by millennia of Chinese hydrotherapeutic heritage.
