Qicai Yunnan Gudian Wenquan Shanzhuang is a thermal bathing facility in Chenggong, Yunnan Province, China. Its iron-rich, mildly acidic water emerges at around 42°C and supplies an indoor bath and an outdoor bath.
Insider tip — Qicai Yunnan Gudian Wenquan Shanzhuang translates roughly as Colourful Yunnan Classical Hot Spring Mountain Villa, and the name captures the ornate multi-pool resort experience it offers east of Kunming near Dianchi Lake. Iron-rich waters tinted in warm ochre tones flow through a series of pavilion-style pools set among traditional Yunnan architectural elements. The high altitude of the Yunnan Plateau ensures cool nights that make the contrast with the warm baths particularly invigorating. The surrounding landscaping incorporates local flora including camellia and pomegranate trees that bloom vividly in spring.
