Northern Hot Springs Park

Located fifty-five kilometers northeast of the city, overlooking the Jialing River, the Northern Hot Springs are in a large park which is the site of a 5th century Buddhist temple.

The park is at the foot of Jinyun Mountain north of the city. The quiet place has many springs and valleys as well as temples of Ming and Qing dynasties. The Guanyin (Bodhisattva) Palace was built with iron tiles and stone pillars. There are also a stone Buddha of the Song dynasty and a dragon pagoda of the Ming dynasty. The springs have an Olympic-size swimming pool where you can swim and there are also private rooms with hot baths.

The water rises to a temperature of 32° C and contains lime, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate and other minerals, which make it suitable for bathing and the treatment of quite a few diseases such as Dermatitis, Rheumatism, Arthritis and Muscular Pain.
