More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the arrival hall at Nanjing Lukou and a driver is holding a card with your name. The city recedes as the car hums toward Tangshan Mountain, where steam rises from rock-lined pools like quiet invitations. An open-air garden of some 50 pools unfolds — milk pools, herbal baths, cold dips and waterfall spouts — each designed for a different kind of release.
