Huanggu Bath Hot Spring

Huanggu Bath Hot Spring

The ancient Lushan Xiatai Hot Spring in Pingdingshan City has flowed through time to the present day, giving rise to the Xiatai Hot Spring therapeutic baths that cater to the needs of today’s public. It has also given birth to the uniquely distinctive Huanggu Bath Hot Spring Resort—the largest open-air bathing center in the Central Plains region. Xiatai has long been famed throughout history and the world for its hot springs. Huanggu Bath at Xiatai derives its name from its location in Xiatai Town, the very place where “the Queen of Shang once bathed.”

Among the Upper, Middle, and Lower Xiatai hot springs, the Lower Xiatai Huanggu Hot Spring boasts the best water quality—crystal clear, soft, and smooth—with unusually high water temperatures. The spring water maintains an outlet temperature of 63 degrees Celsius year-round, is rich in various minerals and trace elements, and is colorless and odorless. It is highly effective in promoting health, beautifying the skin, and treating ailments.

The resort is situated with the majestic, steep, and beautifully rugged Shiren Mountain above and the sparkling Zhaoping Lake below. It also borders modern military air-defense facilities and an ancient Zen Buddhist temple. From here, visitors can take in all the breathtaking scenery, and upon returning, wash away the dust of their journey. Truly, it is a leisure destination that draws on the essence of nature and brings blessings to all.
