Hot Spring Park
South Hot Spring Park
This park in the southern suburbs twenty-six kilometers from Chongqing City is a charming spot for strolling by a stream through quiet woods, watching the waterfalls as they cascade down steep cliffs, or bathing in the hot spring.
The springwater, averaging 38ºC (102ºF) all year round, is said to be effective in curing arthritis and skin diseases.
There is also a miraculous cave, about thirty meters deep, that contains fantastic stalactites and is said to have been the residence of a fairy.
Address: Southern suburbs 26 kilometers from Chongqing City;
North Hot Spring Park
Extending along the slopes of Red Cloud Hill (Jinyunshan) and overlooking the Jialing River, this park is fifty kilometers away from Chongqing.

The combination of temple buildings, flower gardens, fish ponds, lotus ponds, waterfalls, and limestone caves makes this park a most beautiful tourist site.
