Live Your Best Lives
Daocheng Yading is a relatively underdeveloped tourist destination with limited entertainment options, the most famous of which is the Rubuchaka Hot Springs. However, Daocheng County itself offers numerous taverns and cafes with Tibetan characteristics for leisure and entertainment.
Located 3 km southeast of Daocheng County, Rubuchaka Hot Springs means "Friends' Spring" in Khampa culture. The water, typically at 68°C at its outlet, is clear, odorless, and drinkable. The facilities are simple: a row of open-air wooden houses, each protected by a wooden roof. Looking up, you can gaze upon the blue sky and snow-capped mountains, brimming with natural charm. Each room is approximately 4 square meters, with a small square tiled pool on the floor. Two people can sit side by side on the steps, the warm water barely reaching their necks. No swimsuit is required for soaking in the hot springs, as the door opens to a private space. Enjoy a free and unfettered connection with nature, unfettered by any constraints.
