Xidang Hot Spring
西当温泉
The starting point for the Yubeng trek: an open-air hot spring in the Lancang River gorge, where hikers soak their tired legs after returning.
Xidang Hot Spring is in Xidang Village on the west bank of the Lancang River. It is the traditional starting point for trips into and out of Yubeng. From here, you can hike along a dirt road or take a vehicle to Nazong Pass, then cross the pass and descend to Yubeng village. The hot spring is an open-air pool with a water temperature of about 40°C. It is simple and rustic, and it is a good place to soak before or after a hike. Entry costs about 20 to 50 yuan, and there are guesthouses nearby. From Feilai Temple to Xidang Hot Spring is about one hour by car, and there are also local buses. Vehicles and tickets for the Yubeng route must be bought through the scenic area.
