Live Your Best Lives
Just after the National Day holiday, the weather has turned slightly cooler. Although Xiamen is still clinging to the tail end of summer and is reluctant to enter autumn, as soon as I feel the coolness in the morning and evening, I instantly have the urge to soak in a pool of warm water.
Before the coming cold winter, here are some hot spring resorts in Fujian near Xiamen. "Don't envy the birds of Tianchi Lake, be content to be a hot spring dweller." Let's go and spend a warm winter together.
As a five-star hot spring resort, Fujian residents are undoubtedly familiar with this place. Once hailed by the ancients as a "Heaven-sent spring," the resort's 65,000-square-meter grounds are surrounded by lush greenery, creating a feeling of being transported to a Southeast Asian rainforest. Birch palms, kelp trees, royal palms, frangipani trees, areca palms, and traveler's palms dot the landscape, creating a picturesque scene. Soak in the hot springs while enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape.
There are also many different small hot springs here, including the Mingxiang Spring that combines physiology and medicine; the Herbal Spring that uses ancient methods to prepare natural medicinal soups; the Petal Spring with fresh and fragrant petals all over the pool; and the Moon-Grasping Spring that can be savored by one person alone.
If you're pressed for time, staying at one of the hotel's attached hotels is also a great option. Your room comes with its own private 24-hour natural hot spring bath, allowing you to soak in it at any time and in any location, perfect for a relaxing soak. Furthermore, from the window, you can gaze out at the rolling hills in the distance, enjoying the gentle breeze and a relaxing atmosphere.
