Bì Shān Wēnquán — 'Jade Mountain Hot Spring' or 'Blue-Green Mountain Hot Spring' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its name combining the lustrous green of jade — the most precious stone in Chinese cultural tradition, associated with virtue, purity, and immortality — with the image of a mountain spring to evoke a thermal water of exceptional clarity and therapeutic worth. Jade has been the supreme emblem of Chinese aesthetic and spiritual value for over seven thousand years, and hot springs named after jade carry this entire cultural freight of purity, virtue, and the aspiration to transcend the ordinary limitations of physical existence. The spring provides warm, naturally sulphurous mineral water of rare beauty and therapeutic resonance.
