Hot spring baths located in Xinjiang, northwest China. The thermal water reaches 38°C (pH 7.3) and feeds an open-air pool favored for wild bathing in this remote landscape.
Insider tip — These hot spring baths in Xinjiang's Tian Shan range sit at high elevation in a landscape of alpine meadows grazed by Kazakh herders in summer. The geothermal water reaches the surface at 38°C, warmed by crustal heat along regional fault systems. The remote setting means stargazing after your soak is extraordinary, with minimal light pollution across the Central Asian steppe.
