Wentang Hot Spring

Wentang is world-famous for its rare selenium-rich hot springs. Unlike many other hot springs, the water here is suitable for both bathing and drinking, and is known for its health-promoting properties. The town itself has a unique culture where locals often soak their feet in the public spring channels.

📜 History

Wentang Hot Spring has a history of over 800 years, documented since the Southern Song Dynasty. It is famous for being one of only two high-quality selenium-rich hot springs in the world (the other being in Aix-les-Bains, France). For centuries, it has been a center for 'wellness tourism' in ancient China, where people came from afar to cure ailments and enjoy the spring's rejuvenating properties.
