Tianming Mountain

Tianming Mountain

The name of Tianming Mountain originates from the "Tianming Mountain Hot Springs." Located in the Nanxi Valley of Shenzhen Town, Ninghai, it lies at the edge of the Tiantai Mountain range, bordering the Siming Mountain range. As a result, in 1964, Guo Moruo inscribed the plaque for the hot springs as "Tianming Mountain Nanxi Hot Springs" during his visit, and thus this mountainous area came to be known as "Tianming Mountain." It boasts forest landscapes characterized by seclusion, wilderness, and beauty.

Tianming Mountain Hot Springs is located in the secluded Nanxi Valley of Tianming Mountain, Shenzhen, Ninghai County, 76 kilometers from downtown Ningbo. It is a rare destination for leisure, vacation, and recuperation.
