About Yangpachen Hot Springs
Yangpachen Hot Springs is a renowned geothermal site located approximately 87 kilometers northwest of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet Autonomous Region in China. Nestled among the snow-capped mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, this area is famous for its spectacular scenery and the natural hot springs that have made it a popular destination for both local and international visitors. Yangpachen's unique altitude, over 4,300 meters above sea level, contributes to its extraordinary geothermal activity. The hot springs are rich in minerals, believed to have therapeutic benefits, attracting those seeking relief from various ailments. A distinctive feature of these hot springs is the presence of outdoor pools, where visitors can bathe surrounded by the breathtaking panorama of the Tibetan landscape. The combination of the warm steam rising from the pools against the crisp mountain air creates an almost mystical experience. The energy from the hot springs is also harnessed to produce electricity for Lhasa, showcasing a blend of natural wonder and sustainable development.

Not bad, I wish I could have spent more time here
Not bad, I wish I could have spent more time here. The swimming pool is hot and big. We stopped on our way to Namtso lake. I was on a group tour of 4 people but nobody from my group wanted even to enter. I paid the fee and I entered. I wanted to stay more time but I was in a hurry because all the bus was waiting for me. The good thing of this pool is that there was nobody there, there were only 2 tibetian women. It is a nice place to spend an hour more and to relax after all day spent in the bus.
