Chongqing’s hot springs are world-class tourist destinations. The only city that can compare to Chongqing’s Hot Springs Resorts is Budapest, which is known as “the City of Hot Springs”. Chongqing has a long history of hot spring development that dates back to A.D. 423, nearly 1600 years ago.
Chongqing is described as having "hot springs in every canyon and every mountain, with rich reservation, good quality, vast area and various shapes. They are relatively concentrated, and provide sustainable use." Chongqing has developed 84,900 m3 m3 of Hot Springs, which accounts for only one fifth of the reservation. Relying on the rich natural hot spring resources, Chongqing’s municipal government has implemented a strategic decision, making the hot spring one of the four MingPian(key attractions) of Chongqing. Here, we would like list some most popular Hot Springs for you.
