Xiao Jin Ping Ye Xi Wenquan

Xiao Jin Ping Ye Xi Wenquan — 'Small Golden Plain Night Bath Hot Spring' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its name evoking a small, golden plain — a fertile, sunlit landscape — as the setting for a nocturnal bathing experience in naturally warm mineral water. The combination of the golden plain's openness and the intimacy of the night bath creates a distinctive spatial and temporal aesthetic in which the vastness of the sky above contrasts with the warm, mineral-rich water of the spring pool below. The spring provides naturally sulphurous water for a contemplative and aesthetically charged Chinese night bathing experience.
