Xiaotangshan

小汤山

Xiaotangshan is located in Xiaotangshan Town, Changping District. It is named Xiaotangshan because of its rich geothermal resources and hot springs at the foot of the mountain. The ancients called hot water "tang", so Xiaotangshan was named after it. Xiaotangshan can be traced back to the Liao Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it was used as a royal forbidden garden. In the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Tangquan Palace was built here, and a lotus pond was dug next to the spring for the emperor and dignitaries to bathe. The most famous thing in Xiaotangshan is the hot spring. It is said that boiling water will come out if you dig a hole here. The hot spring water here is endless, the water temperature is high, and the water quality contains multiple elements, which has a significant effect on the treatment of skin diseases, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases. Nowadays, there are many hot spring resorts in Xiaotangshan.

Beijing Xiaotangshan is located in Changping District. The water temperature of the hot springs here is mostly maintained at around 40-60 degrees Celsius. Even in the cold winter, the area around the hot springs is filled with thick fog. It is so pleasant to soak in the hot springs outdoors, soaking in the warm water while enjoying the snow!

Xiaotangshan is famous for its hot springs in Beijing. Now there are many hot spring baths in Xiaotangshan, including Jiuhua Villa, Longmai Hot Spring Resort, Fulai Hot Spring Villa, Telecom City Hot Spring Resort, etc. Jiuhua Villa has changed a lot in recent years. It has more and more Beijing-style architectural features, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists. Jiuhua is a little overcrowded now. Although there are so many people that it is sometimes difficult to book a room, people still flock to it.
