Hot springs in Datong Township

Set within a wide, rocky mountain river valley, this popular park features massive boiling stone troughs designed for cooking food in active geothermal water. Visitors rent bamboo baskets to boil fresh corn, sweet potatoes, and local eggs in the steaming mineral currents. A beautifully constructed timber pavilion offers shallow foot-soaking streams nearby, while the source vents reach near boiling.

Located deep inside the Taipingshan National Forest, this alpine hot spring features an outdoor family pool made from massive natural boulders. The alkaline bicarbonate water boasts a beautiful iridescent blue hue and leaves a smooth feel on the skin. The source water emerges near boiling, so the complex also features geothermal cooking cones where visitors can boil eggs and corn.
