降扎温泉
A group of natural hot springs in Jiangzha Township, northern Zoige. Gazebos in Tibetan and Han styles shelter the springs, and the site is well known among Tibetan areas of Sichuan, Gansu, and Qinghai.
Jiangzha Hot Springs are in Jiangzha Township in northern Zoige, near the Sichuan-Gansu border. Several natural springs with comfortable water temperatures have been fitted with gazebos and bathing pools in a style blending Tibetan and Han architecture. Herders from the Tibetan areas of Sichuan, Gansu, and Qinghai travel here for soaking and recovery. The facilities are simple. Nearby Tibetan family guesthouses serve yak meat and butter tea. The drive from the county town takes about 1.5 hours to the north. The hot springs can be linked with Flower Lake, Heta Hot Spring Valley, or the route to Langmusi. Do not stay in the hot springs for too long at high altitude, and keep warm.
