Zhuji Hot Spring Shaoxing is a thermal bathing destination in Zhuji, a county-level city in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China, famous throughout Asia as the global capital of freshwater pearls — producing over 70% of the world's cultured pearl supply — and home to the ancient Goujian and Xishi legends that shaped Chinese cultural history for millennia. The calcium-sulfate spring waters here are valued within a long thermal tradition, associated with skin comfort and relaxation, providing a wellness experience deeply connected to Zhejiang's rich mineral landscape and balneological heritage. Combining the extraordinary cultural legacy of pearl cultivation, ancient kingdom history, and the richness of calcium-sulfate thermal waters, Zhuji Hot Spring offers an unexpectedly multi-layered thermal experience in one of Zhejiang's most historically significant cities.
Insider tip — Zhuji Hot Spring rises from the alluvial lowlands of Shaoxing prefecture, where saline groundwater is gently heated by deep crustal warmth beneath the Qiantang River basin. The city is historically known as the Pearl City of China for its freshwater pearl industry, and the springs share the same soft-water character of the region. Pools are typically set in tranquil garden environments with willow-lined channels. A visit pairs well with exploring Zhuji's traditional silk and pearl markets.
