Guizhou Zunyi Hot Springs is a thermal spa resort in Zunyi, a historically significant city in Guizhou Province, southwestern China, famous as the site of the Zunyi Conference of 1935 — the pivotal meeting of the Chinese Communist Party during the Long March at which Mao Zedong consolidated his leadership. The calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, and sodium-rich mineral springs of Zunyi emerge from the karst geology of Guizhou's extraordinary limestone landscape, the same geological formations that produce the province's famous gorges, Maotai spirits, and spectacular cave systems. The thermal bathing experience combines the restorative pleasures of the naturally heated alkaline mineral waters within a long thermal tradition with the cultural and historical richness of one of southwestern China's most significant cities, set within the remarkable karst landscape of Guizhou Province.

Insider tip — Guizhou Zunyi Hot Springs draw on the geothermal resources of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where calcium-magnesium bicarbonate waters emerge from karst limestone formations characteristic of this mountainous province. Zunyi is historically famous as the site of the 1935 Zunyi Conference that turned the tide of the Long March, and its hot spring resorts have been developed alongside this heritage tourism. The surrounding karst landscape — dramatic stone pinnacles and deep gorges — provides a spectacular backdrop.
