Xiangshun Wenquan sits in Liuzu, city of Yunfu, Guangdong province, China. The thermal water surfaces at 42°C, pH 7.3. The venue includes an indoor bath, an outdoor rotenburo and a sauna.
Insider tip — In Liuzu, the birthplace of Huineng — the Sixth Patriarch of Chan (Zen) Buddhism whose Platform Sutra became one of the most influential texts in East Asian spiritual history — Xiangshun Wenquan draws geothermal waters from the subtropical Guangdong hills; bathing in the thermal waters of the land that produced Buddhism's most earthly and democratic teaching carries quiet philosophical resonance.
