Tourists relax at a hot spring resort in southwest China's Chongqing on Thursday, October 18, 2018. The spring water pool is designed to look like a huge spicy hot pot, a popular local dish.

The hot spring pool is shaped like a traditional four-sided metal pot. The water is colored red by medicinal herbs and comes replete with plastic vegetables and chopsticks to use as props.
