Harbin Hot Springs

Harbin Hot Springs Special Notice

The wrath of the Valley Fire stretched far and wide, leaving devastation in its tracks. Our beloved Harbin Hot Springs did not survive unscathed. Where was once a tranquil and pristine retreat, now stands its charred remains.
 
As of now, Harbin is closed until further notice. Damage has been extensive, although it is reported that some structures still stand. The pools and springs are intact, but plumbing and treatment systems are in need of a major overhaul. Unfortunately, it will be quite some time until Harbin reopens and is back to its former glory.
 
The first step, of many, is beginning….clean-up. An intensive job to clear the land of debris. However, a first step is definitely one in the right direction!
 
Despite this horrific tragedy, the Harbin community stands strong and filled with optimism. The outpouring of generosity; financially, emotionally and spiritually is astounding! Harbin Hot Springs does plan to rebuild as quickly as possible. Sedat Mahmud, Vice President, and one of several representatives of Harbin states “We want to see how quickly we can re-open the pools.” The strength and unity that binds all those who have experienced Harbin maintain hope for a brighter future.
 
Harbin asks that you hold your memories of this majestic place close. Share those moments with others, and keeping in your sights what Harbin can become. They are the Phoenix, and will once again rise from the ashes in a more beautiful state.
