Zayü County is renowned for its multitude of hot springs, distinct from other Tibetan hot spots. The springs in Zayü are likened to shy maidens: gentle, serene, and gracefully welcoming, evoking a sense of tender admiration from those who visit.
The most enchanting time to experience these hot springs is in the early morning when the cooler air contrasts with the warm waters, creating billows of white mist. This steamy veil, rising from the water’s surface, transports visitors to a seemingly otherworldly realm.
Zayü’s thermal waters are celebrated for their unique healing properties, offering relief for a variety of chronic conditions such as skin diseases, gastritis, and rheumatism. Acknowledging these therapeutic benefits, Guangdong has sponsored the construction of a first-rate hotel here. The hotel boasts two open-air thermal swimming pools, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, adding a touch of romance and comfort to the serene landscape.
