Southern Hot Springs

(Local Name: Nanwenquan) The Southern Hot Springs (Nanwenquan), lying 24km/15mi south of Chongqing among some delightful scenery, are very popular with visitors. Built in the second half of the 19th C, the baths are located in a beautiful park which has a brook running through it. The average temperature of the very sulfurous water is about 40°C (104°F).
