Huangshan's natural hot springs are regularly used by visitors to relax from the tiredness of climbing.

Originating from Purple Rock Peak and located at the foot, the soothing hot spring has legendary healing and restorative properties, and they have been well-developed with villas surrounding the tranquil bathing areas.

Earlier this year, the local government announced entry to Huangshan Mountain will be free for foreign tourists during winter, in an attempt to expand the overseas market, attracting more foreign tourists and increasing Huangshan's international reputation.

If people are tired of futuristic skyscrapers and large crowds in cities, and eager to get a closer contact with nature, Huangshan Mountain, with breathtaking natural scenery and rich culture heritage, could be a good choice for them.
