Anshan and Qianshan, China

Anshan is an industrial city in central Liaoning with a strong food culture, a celebrated jade Buddha, and easy access to Qianshan, a scenic area of granite peaks, cable cars and active Buddhist and Taoist temples. Hot springs at Tanggangzi and near the mountain foothills make it a credible short wellness break.
