Pu Er Hot Springs Wuliang

Pu Er Hot Springs Wuliang are geothermal springs in Pu'er city in southern Yunnan Province, China, named for the world-famous Pu-erh fermented tea that has been produced in this region for centuries and traded along the ancient Tea Horse Road to Tibet, where bicarbonate thermal waters from the volcanic geology of the Yunnan-Indochina transition zone offer therapeutic bathing in the heart of China's most celebrated tea country. The ancient tea forests of Pu'er, some of whose wild tea trees are over 1,000 years old, surround a landscape of extraordinary subtropical biodiversity where the Mekong River begins its journey southward through Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Soaking in Pu'er's bicarbonate thermal waters while surrounded by the ancient tea forests and ethnic minority villages of the Wa, Hani, and Yi peoples creates a uniquely immersive experience in one of Asia's most culturally layered agricultural and thermal landscapes.
