[2025 Changchun ] Travel Guide for Guoxin Nanshan Hot Spring (Updated Aug)

Changchun Guoxin Nanshan Hot Springs Guide: A "Magical Water World" Hidden in the Forest – The Pinnacle of Family Water Fun! "When I dipped my feet into the 46°C Tai Chi Yin-Yang Pool—half scalding hot, half icy cold—my body shivered from the alternating temperatures. But as I looked up, I saw lush greenery and an alpaca grazing nearby. In that moment, I finally understood why people say, 'After experiencing Guoxin Nanshan, all other hot springs feel like a compromise.'" Last week, I took my kids on a 40-minute drive from downtown Changchun to this mountainside hot spring resort, where we unlocked the ultimate summer combo: "hot springs + camping + alpaca cuddles." Turns out, hot springs aren’t just for warming up—they can keep kids entertained for hours! 1. Must-Experience Highlights: The Ultimate Family Water Playground Think hot springs are just about soaking in warm water? Guoxin Nanshan shatters expectations with three game-changers: 1. "Hot Springs + Camping" Hybrid Fun: The Cozy Camping Butterfly Zone is pure magic! With its butterfly-themed backdrop straight out of a movie scene, sizzling custom BBQ, and handcrafted lemonade, it’s the perfect mix of relaxation and Instagram-worthy moments. Change into your swimsuit post-soak and snap away—your social media feed will thank you. 2. Hidden Gem: The Animal Farm: Meet gentle deer, playful bunnies, peacocks showing off their plumage, and the star attraction—alpacas! Kids can feed them carrots and pet their fluffy coats, getting closer to nature than any zoo visit. 3. "Hot & Cold" Spring Pools: The 46°C Tai Chi Yin-Yang Pool is a showstopper. One side burns like fire, the other chills like ice. Jumping from hot to cold is as thrilling as a rollercoaster, leaving both kids and adults squealing with delight. 2. Deep Dive: A 24-Hour Itinerary for Nonstop Fun 🛀 Hot Springs Edition: N Ways to Enjoy the Pools Top 3 Must-Try Pools: 1. Tai Chi Yin-Yang Pool: The 46°C hot pool and 15°C cold pool form a yin-yang pattern. Alternating between them tightens pores like a spa treatment. Kids won’t want to leave—just remember to bring towels for quick dry-offs. 2. Private Garden Cabins: Secluded wooden huts with personal pools. Pull down the bamboo curtain for privacy, and stargaze while soaking—pure romance. 3. TCM Herbal Pools: Soak in pools infused with angelica, mugwort, or ginger to warm up cold hands and feet. Insomniacs swear by them! Bonus: On-site TCM consultations for parents. Pro Tips: • Hot-Cold Cycle: 5 minutes in 46°C water, 1 minute in 15°C water. Repeat 3x for a detox effect rivaling a gym session. • Lazy River & Wave Pool: Indoor lazy river runs every hour for 15 minutes (perfect for floaties). Wave pool creates 1-meter waves hourly—kids go wild. • Hidden Herbal Pools: Near the wave pool, discover secluded herbal baths—ideal for couples or families. 🏕️ Camping Edition: The Perfect Post-Soak Activity Butterfly Camping Zone Guide: • Location: Turn right at the outdoor springs, then left at the end.

As a Changchun resident, this is the first time I don’t live in my own home. After leaving Changchun for eleven years, my hometown has changed a lot. I come back to live at home for more than a month every summer vacation. Today I brought my husband and children to experience the hot spring hotel in Changchun. It is about 40 kilometers away from home, which is quite far, but there is T377 downstairs that can go directly there. It only costs 7 yuan. I quite like the environment inside, because the forest coverage rate is very high, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it has the flavor of a primitive forest. There are sweat steaming, panda tours, hot spring performances, rafting, wave making, a zoo, and an naughty castle. I feel that the boss runs the business very carefully, and it has everything you can think of. I stayed in a twin room, which came with free hot spring tickets and buffet tickets. It’s really a good deal. I also experienced several five-star hotels in Shenzhen, and I felt that this is the difference between Guangdong characteristics and Northeast characteristics. There are a lot of people, but the hotel is big and it doesn't feel crowded. The overall feeling is away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It has the characteristics of Northeast China. The southern small potatoes can go for it.

#hotsprings The weather is sunny, and the autumn air is high and fresh. I have the opportunity to come to Guoxin Nanshan Hot Spring again. The last time I came here was during the epidemic, and there were very few people. There are more people this time. The environment is as good as ever. It is the best hot spring in Changchun. The service is also very considerate. Seeing that we have been soaking for a long time, they brought us red jujube water and surfing at 3:00 p.m. After soaking in the wet spring, it's so comfortable to go upstairs to sweat. Life must be so comfortable.
