Quzika Hot Springs
曲孜卡温泉
A group of natural hot springs on the bank of the Lancang River north of Yanjing, where you can soak while looking out over the gorge and snowy peaks.
Quzika Township lies north of Yanjing, where several natural hot springs emerge along the Lancang River. Locals have bathed and recuperated here since ancient times. Today there are several hot spring hotels and open-air pools, and while soaking you can see the peaks on both sides of the gorge. The water is quite hot, and some pools have a sulfur smell. The township is about 10 km from Yanjing, making it suitable for a half-day trip from Yanjing, or you can stay a night to recover from long drives on the Yunnan–Tibet route. Prices and opening hours depend on each spring, so check locally. At high altitude, don't soak for too long.
