Soak in the riverside hot pools at Denggeng

About 12 km north of Liuku, Lushui

Informal hot-spring pools on the west bank of the Nujiang, where Lisu families traditionally camp for a bathing fair from the second to the sixth day of Chinese New Year. Outside the festival they are quiet and simple, a good way to break the drive.

What locals sayA wild, unpolished hot spring rather than a spa, which is exactly the appeal.
