Yi Gong Zang Bu Wenquan is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in the Yigong Tsangpo river valley in the Tibetan Autonomous Region of China, where one of the most biologically diverse and spectacular gorge landscapes on earth meets the geothermal activity of the eastern Himalayan rim. The Yigong Tsangpo valley, a transition zone between the Tibetan Plateau and the subtropical forests of Arunachal Pradesh, is home to a remarkable concentration of plant and animal species and a landscape of extraordinary geological dynamism, including landslides, glacial lakes, and geothermal springs. The hot spring provides warm, naturally sulphurous mineral water in one of the world's most spectacular and biodiverse river gorge environments.
Insider tip — Yi Gong Zang Bu Wenquan sits in the lush Nyingchi region of eastern Tibet, often called the Switzerland of China for its forested valleys and azure rivers. The sulfurous spring bubbles up near the Yilong Zangbo tributary, surrounded by towering Himalayan cypress and rhododendron forest. The milky-white mineral water is reputed by locals to ease joint pain and respiratory ailments. Spring and autumn visits coincide with spectacular floral blooms and dramatic valley mists.
