A natural warm shower in Xinjiang, northwest China, where water at 38°C (pH 7.3) flows in the open air. The site is suited to wild bathing, far from built infrastructure.
Insider tip — This natural warm shower spring at latitude 44°N in Xinjiang emerges from limestone karst formations of the northern Tian Shan piedmont. The water cascades at body temperature over rock ledges, creating a natural shower effect rare even among the region's numerous thermal features. The surrounding steppe is rich with wildflowers in June before the summer heat arrives.
