Yichun Hot Springs | A Guide to Warmth and Healing

| A Guide to Warmth and Healing. Once you soak in the hot springs in Yichun, you'll be hooked! Today, I'm sharing my super-detailed hot spring experience guide with everyone 👇 Pre-trip Preparation 1. Hot Spring Selection: Mingyueshan Tianmu Hot Spring Resort has a valley forest retreat where you can enjoy privacy. Mingyueshan Weijing International Hot Spring not only has a variety of pools, but also free health programs such as sauna and salt bath. The selenium-rich hot spring of Yichun Hot Spring Workers Sanatorium can be drunk and bathed in, and the 25 outdoor pools maintain the original ecological style. Choose according to your preferences and budget. 2. Must-have Equipment: ◦ Swimsuit 👙: Don't buy too expensive ones, as the high temperature of the hot spring water can easily damage the elasticity. There are many swimsuit shops along the way in Wentang Town, with many styles and affordable prices. ◦ Waterproof phone case 📱: A must for taking pictures. The photos taken in the hot spring have their own atmosphere. ◦ Moisturizing skin care products 💧: The skin loses moisture after soaking in the hot spring, so moisturize in time. ◦ Filling snacks 🍪: Soaking in the hot spring consumes physical strength, so you can replenish energy when you are hungry. ◦ Optional equipment: swimming goggles (essential for children to prevent water from entering their eyes when playing in the water), non-slip slippers (you can bring your own if you are concerned about hygiene), swimming cap (remember to bring one if you need to swim). 3. Transportation Guide: ◦ High-speed train: After arriving at Yichun Station, take bus No. 115 to Wentang Station. The whole journey is about 28 km, the journey is 50–80 minutes, and the fare is CNY 4. You can also take a taxi, which is about 21 km, takes about 30 minutes, and costs around CNY 50. ◦ Airplane: After arriving at Mingyueshan Airport, you need to transfer by bus, which takes a long time.

Travel Experience I soaked in Weijing International Hot Spring. Dozens of large and small pools are distributed in the mountains and forests, surrounded by green mountains, and the air is full of negative oxygen ions. Soaking in the warm hot spring, the feeling of fatigue disappears instantly. The special pools are very interesting. The red wine pool exudes a faint aroma of wine. After soaking, I feel that my skin has become better. The Chinese medicine pool is healthy and comfortable. After soaking, my whole body is warm. Precautions 1. Health conditions: People with infectious diseases, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc. are not suitable for soaking in hot springs; pregnant women, post-operative rehabilitation patients or other special circumstances should follow the doctor's advice. 2. Time control: Do not soak in the hot spring for more than 20 minutes each time. Rest for 30 minutes after soaking before proceeding to the next round. Do not exceed 3 times a day. 3.
