Yunnan Tengchong - Huangguaqing

Tengchong Huangguaqing Hot Spring has a very special name. Why is it called Huangguaqing? Even the locals don't know. Huangguaqing is quite niche, with very few visitors, but the hot spring is very authentic. The hot spring pools in Huangguaqing are likely built directly above the spring sources. Each pool continuously bubbles with hot water and steam from the bottom, and the water temperature is adjusted by adding cold water to the pool. Soaking in the Huangguaqing hot spring is a true hot spring experience in your lifetime. Unlike other places where hot spring water is channeled into constructed pools, allowing you to soak in hot spring water, Huangguaqing lets you soak directly in the pool where the hot spring water emerges, making it a genuine hot spring experience!
