[2025 Tengchong Stay] Travel Guide for San Zhai Yi Jie Hot Spring Resort Hotel (Updated May)

Private hot spring courtyard, so good you won't want to leave Tengchong Sanzai Yijie The most satisfying part of my trip to Tengchong was this hot spring hotel. The butler introduced the hotel as being composed of three villas, hence the name Sanzai. Yijie, in my understanding, is the world of forest oxygen bar hot springs created by the managers for the guests. Especially after a day's journey, returning to the hotel to soak in the carbonated hot spring (the hotel has hot springs in the house, pure hot spring water), it's so refreshing. The hotel also provides bath salts and hot spring snacks, which are great. In addition, the hotel design is also great, and it was personally designed by one of the managers who graduated from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. The breakfast at the hotel is also very good, with Chinese and Western styles alternating every other day, and the aunts make it taste great. The room is very private and quiet, and the disposable items provided are also of good quality. My parents fell in love with this place and plan to come here for 1-2 months every year, haha. Unfortunately, I didn't experience the natural sulfur hot spring, I'll come again next time.

🚗Day 1 | Stay in a Breathing Forest Cabin The moment you push open the wooden door of "Sanyue," the creaking sound of the heavy door brings a rush of natural wood scent 🌲 The B&B's terrace faces grass huts surrounded by forest. Brew a pot of ancient tree tea from Gaoligong Mountain and watch the clouds and mist weave through the trees up to the mountaintop (Photo: panoramic view of the terrace in morning mist). Dinner is Tengchong's local specialty, Copper Pot Beef—the simmering aroma from the copper pot will make your mouth water! ♨Day 2 | Exclusive Lotus Hot Springs Rise early for forest yoga in the thin mist 🧘♀ The moss still carries morning dew, and each breath feels like your lungs have been washed with mint. In the afternoon, enter the Lotus Hot Springs located in "Egret Hometown" Lotus Town. They say soaking in these springs gives you fair skin, beauty, and long legs. The hot springs sit on Tengchong's main geothermal vein with an average annual temperature of 18°C, making it one of Yunnan's rare kaolin hot spring core areas. The spring water comes from 103°C underground rock layers and is rich in silicic acid, iron, carbonate, and other minerals. Nationally certified as a premium medicinal hot spring, it has remarkable effects on skin whitening, restoration, and rheumatism treatment. 🌄Day 3 | Gaoligong Mountain Private Hiking Trail Follow a local guide into the primeval forest, stepping on soft moss carpets to find ancient trees wearing "sweaters" of moss. The waterfalls you encounter are breathtaking—spread out a picnic blanket beside a hundred-meter waterfall, grill meat on volcanic stone plates, and enjoy ground-pot tea. The crispy sounds might attract curious squirrels from the branches! ✨Three-Day Two-Night Slow Guide ✔Transportation: Self-driving recommended, 1.5-hour drive from Baoshan Airport ✔Outfit: Light jacket + non-slip shoes, forest temperature varies significantly Important Details: 1. Mainly bring [spring/summer clothes], such as [long pants + long-sleeve shirts/short sleeves + long-sleeve jacket]. You'll need a jacket before noon, can wear just a long-sleeve shirt/short sleeve in the afternoon, and need to put the jacket back on around 6 PM when the sun sets. 2. Bring all [sun protection] gear, including [hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, parasol, face covering (full-face mask)]. 3. [Swimwear] doesn't take up much space but should be brought for possible visits to public hot springs like Rehai Valley or Lotus Hot Springs. 4.

Inner layer: moisture-wicking against skin 2. Outer layer: windbreaker for warmth + protection (prevents branches from catching clothes) The healing feeling of escaping the concrete jungle comes in that moment when you open your window in the morning and lock eyes with a squirrel holding a pine cone 🌰 This May Day holiday, immerse your soul in Tengchong's 21°C painting-like scenery!

Tengchong | Sanju Yikai is highly recommended! There are many cherry blossom trees along the way, and the sunlight penetrates the surrounding woods like a fairy tale! Sanju Yikai is really good! We were served welcome cookies and tea as soon as we entered. The whole house has underfloor heating, and the floor is super clean, so you can walk barefoot. The bedding is also very comfortable. The hot spring in the courtyard is always available. I had a fast heartbeat and a headache, but I felt much better after soaking in the hot spring. We have to get up early for hiking tomorrow, so we will miss breakfast. The staff even prepared breakfast for us to take on the road. So considerate! I really like this homestay! It's a bit far from the city and the ancient town, but it's very quiet and perfect for a vacation! I'll come again next time~

| The hot spring experience in Tengchong is still refreshing my perception! After a day of self-driving tour, visiting the Volcano Park and Heiyu River, the last stop was supposed to be Beihai Wetland, but it felt a bit rushed, so we found a nearby hot spring hotel, and it did not disappoint! From the supporting facilities to the private hot spring, everything felt so familiar after checking in. I didn't expect it to be the same owner as the hotel I stayed in before! [Guest Room] The first impression of the room is: thoughtful. From arrival to entering the room, the butler helped with the luggage throughout the whole process (we really had a lot of heavy luggage). The hotel is located inside a health center, with a very nice surrounding environment, and offers free airport transfers, but self-driving is more convenient for us. The room is equipped with cold brew tea, dried fruit snacks, and tea leaves, with hot spring water available 24/7. The courtyard room has a sunken hot spring pool, providing good privacy. The toiletries are still the familiar Acqua di Parma set (we haven't finished using the set from the previous hotel, so we decided to take this set with us), and the Dyson hairdryer is still as comfortable as ever. Hotel 👍 Most recommended: Miyake World Hot Spring Resort 📍 Detailed address: Tengchong, Baoshan, Yunnan, near Beihai Wetland Room Type 🛏 Room facilities: Hot Spring Pool Mountain View King Room
