Huangshan Wenquan — 'Yellow Mountain Hot Spring' — is a geothermal spring associated with or located near Huangshan (the Yellow Mountain) in Anhui Province, one of China's most celebrated and iconic mountain landscapes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famous for its ancient pine trees, sea of clouds, and dramatically sculpted granite peaks that have inspired Chinese painters and poets for centuries. The hot spring at Huangshan has historically been a welcome feature for pilgrims and travellers visiting the sacred mountain, offering warm, naturally mineralised water for bathing and recuperation after the demanding ascent of the mountain's steep stone stairways. The spring combines the therapeutic power of geothermal water with one of China's most magnificent natural and cultural landscapes.

Insider tip — Huangshan Wenquan, the Hot Spring of Yellow Mountain, is one of the four classic scenic wonders of the Huangshan UNESCO World Heritage site. The spring emerges at the foot of Zixia Peak alongside the Peach Blossom Stream, and has been celebrated in Chinese poetry and painting for over a thousand years. The site combines cultural heritage with thermal wellness, surrounded by the iconic granite peaks and twisted pines of Huangshan. Visiting in the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn avoids the peak crowds while still offering mild soaking temperatures.
