It has been verified that there are three subterranean hot water areas covering 700 kilometers in Tianjin. 259 subterranean hot water wells with a temperature of above 30 degrees centigrade are now in use. There are bright prospects in exploiting geothermal energy in China. Subterranean hot water resources are found in Beijing. Tianjin. Fuzhou, Kunming and other cities.
