Jiannian Du Wenquan

Jiannian Du Wenquan — 'Build Year Crossing Hot Spring' — is a geothermal spring in China, its name referencing either a founding year — the year in which the spring facility was established — or a crossing point in the landscape associated with a particular year of significance in local history. Chinese hot springs often carry historical designations that connect them to specific moments of community significance — the founding of a village, the arrival of an official, the end of a drought — embedding the geothermal resource in the narrative memory of the local community. The spring provides naturally warm, geothermally mineralised water in an authentically historically situated Chinese bathing setting.
