Donghai Hot Spring has a long history and a well-known reputation. As early as the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, there were records of "like soup in winter and summer." The Qing Dynasty's "Jiaqing Haizhou Zhilizhou Chronicle" states: "Forty miles south of the city is a mountain called Jinniu Mountain, and there is a spring south of the mountain, which is warm in winter and summer." During the Daoguang period, Xu Guilin praised it as a "famous scenic spot." In 2012, Donghai Hot Spring Tourist Resort was awarded the title of "Jiangsu Provincial Tourist Resort," providing all-round high-quality services such as catering, accommodation, bathing and health preservation, fitness and entertainment, and business negotiation for tourists from inside and outside the province. Donghai Hot Spring Tourist Resort, known as the "Hometown of Hot Springs in China," is a place where mountains and rivers depend on each other, with beautiful scenery, abundant products, and outstanding people. It has rich cultural and tourism resources. The mountain here is Yushan Mountain, which is magical and prominent. It is 3 km long from east to west, 1.5 km wide from north to south, and 269.5m above sea level. It is a famous cultural mountain in the Chinese mythology system. The "Ji Gun Yushan" recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" and "Shang Shu" is the legendary birthplace of Dayu. The water here is hot spring water, which is graceful and included in the British "Concise Encyclopedia Britannica." It is named "Fluorine-silicon composite hot mineral water" and is a rare fountain of youth. At present, Donghai Hot Spring Tourist Resort is closely focused on the goal of "Hometown of Hot Springs in China, a Paradise for Health and Leisure," and has embarked on a new journey of creating a national-level tourist resort. Looking to the future, Donghai Hot Spring Tourist Resort relies on its unique resource advantages, integrates and optimizes element allocation, and is determined to improve the construction of a first-class health and leisure resort in East China, and focus on carefully building China's "No. 1 Hot Spring Township."

VI. Precautions and Tips to Avoid Pitfalls • Transportation Suggestions: Lianyungang BRT rapid transit covers the main attractions, and scanning the code to ride is convenient and fast. Driving or chartering a car is also a good choice, but note that the attractions are scattered, and the cost of chartering a car is approx. CNY 300/day. • Sun Protection and Clothing: In summer, bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and light long sleeves. In winter, you will need a thick coat and non-slip shoes. • Shopping Tips: There are many fakes in the crystal market, so it is recommended to buy from regular stores and ask for a certificate. Beware of "low-price tour" scams and give priority to officially partnered travel agencies. • Special Tips: Some attractions are greatly affected by the weather (such as Yuntai Mountain by the Sea, which is often foggy), so it is recommended to check the weather forecast in advance. During holidays, attractions such as Huaguo Mountain and Liandao Island are crowded, so it is recommended to travel during off-peak hours.

🌲【A dreamlike fairyland surrounded by forests】 Stepping into the hotel is like being gently embraced by the forest. Tall trees stand in the forest, and the sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, creating a mottled light and shadow. In winter, although the leaves are withered, the quiet atmosphere makes time seem to slow down. Stroll along the winding path, listen to the birds singing, and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city to relax your body and mind. ♨️【Special hot springs to warm your body and mind】 The hot spring is the highlight! Various hot spring pools with different effects are scattered in the forest. There is a rose pool, where you can soak in the fragrance of flowers, as if you have become a fairy in the flowers, surrounded by the fragrance of roses, and your skin feels smooth; there is also a Chinese medicine pool, where you can soak in the rich fragrance of medicine for a while, and you will feel comfortable all over, and the fatigue will disappear. The most amazing thing is that when the snowflakes fall, you can soak in the steaming hot spring, with crystal snowflakes on your head and warm spring water on your body. This wonderful feeling of ice and fire is really unforgettable. 🏠【Warm accommodation and comfortable experience】 The hotel rooms are full of warmth and style. The wooden decoration, combined with the soft bedding, makes you reluctant to get up. The windows of the room face the forest, and you wake up in the morning to the sound of birds chirping. When you open the curtains, you will see a green forest, and a beautiful day begins. The room is also well-equipped, with thoughtful details. 🥘【Gourmet feast and taste enjoyment】 The hotel's food is mouth-watering. The local seafood is so fresh that it seems to have just been fished out of the sea. The steaming method retains the freshness to the greatest extent, and you can taste the full flavor of the sea.

It takes about 1 hour to climb. Mumu and grandpa and grandma love sports every day, so they have no problem with physical strength. The main peak tourist area has the Lover's Pine, the Glass Plank Road, the Cliff Café, the Glass Bridge, the Cliff Swing, the Internet-famous Suspension Bridge, the Echo Platform, and many other check-in spots. Standing among the majestic mountains, it is extremely shocking! 🚗Travel: It takes 2.5 hours to drive from Wuhan. There are not many mountain roads and they are not winding, so the probability of motion sickness is relatively low. 🏨Accommodation: There are many homestays outside the scenic area. We stayed in a hotel inside the scenic area, which was booked on xc for 230 yuan per night. 🍚Food: There are more than a dozen farmhouses outside the gate. I tried three of them. The food tasted good and the price-performance ratio was also okay. 📌Tips: 🔺It is recommended to buy a package ticket. It is autumn outing season, the glass bridge and glass plank road are free, and children under 1.2 meters in height are free of charge, which is suitable for taking children out for a walk. 🔺There is a large free parking lot at the gate, and nearby villagers sell roasted sweet potatoes, wild fried chestnuts, fruits, etc. 🔺The temperature difference between morning and night is large, so you need to bring both thin and thick coats. You can wear short sleeves when it is hottest during the climb (we wore too much) 🔺

Taking advantage of the off-peak tourist season, I made plans with friends for a trip to the East China Sea, and we chose to stay at the Junlan Hot Spring Hotel in Donghai County, Lianyungang, because the hot springs in Donghai are quite famous. 📍Address: The hotel is located at No. 99, Tanggu West Road, Donghai Hot Spring Tourism Resort, Donghai County, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province. We drove there from the downtown area of Qingdao, and it took about 4 hours to arrive. The hotel is very large, with many types of rooms. Standard rooms, single rooms, executive single rooms, executive standard rooms, ordinary suites, luxury suites... We booked a standard room online in advance, and it only cost a little over 400 this season, and we were given 2 hot spring tickets and a complimentary breakfast for two, which is quite cost-effective. I really like the hotel's decorative style, which is Hui-style architecture, dignified and elegant, consisting of a main building with a height of 4 floors and four auxiliary buildings connected by corridors. Next to it is the beautiful Tanggu Lake, which is very picturesque. Moreover, as soon as you enter the hotel, you can smell the fragrance of tea, which is very comfortable.
