Amidst the mist and the fragrance of rice, encounter the poetic hot springs and Bai ethnic charm

Niujie Township, a Bai village renowned for its hot springs, transforms the earth’s deep passion into the bubbling spring at the entrance of Yufeng Hotel. The 97°C boiling spring gushes from the embrace of the Cangshan mountain range’s remnants, enriched with 49 minerals, including rare elements like selenium, lithium silicate, and strontium, which act like secret codes infusing each drop of water with healing power. In spring, when azaleas dye the hills red, soak in the outdoor pools and watch petals drift with the steam; in summer, as the rice waves roll, close your eyes and listen to the chorus of frogs and wind; in autumn, when the forests are ablaze with color, let the warm spring envelop your body and soul, breathing in sync with heaven and earth; in winter, when cold mist lingers, a pool of hot water becomes a gentle armor against the chill. Through the changing seasons, only this spring remains constant, turning the plateau’s heat and tenderness into ripples at travelers’ fingertips.

A Taste Journey: A Culinary Feast of Plateau Delicacies
The cuisine of Niujie Township is a microcosm of Eryuan. Beyond the lively market atmosphere, the Bai restaurants around the hotel hold delightful surprises: “Sculpted Plum Braised Pork” perfectly blends the sweet and sour of plums with the richness of pork belly; “Ru Shan” sizzles over charcoal, dipped in rose sauce, releasing a burst of sweet fragrance in the mouth; freshly ground Ru Shan with rose sauce carries the warmth of Bai sisters’ handmade craft. For a closer connection to nature, follow locals to fish by the lake and cook a pot of “Haishao Fish” with freshly caught fish, letting the fresh flavors reach your soul. The food here is never deliberately refined but uses the most original ingredients and simplest cooking methods to make every bite a tribute to the plateau.

A Healing Journey: Rediscovering Authenticity in Hot Springs and Culture
Eryuan Yufeng Hot Spring Hotel is never just a simple place to stay. It is a window through which you can see the Bai people living by the mountains and coexisting with water; it is a song singing of the clouds over Cangshan, the waves of Cibi Lake, and the years rising and falling in the hot springs; it is also a remedy, healing every weary soul with the gentleness of nature and the depth of culture. Whether it’s the laughter of children on a family trip, whispered secrets under the stars for couples on vacation, or the contemplation of a solo traveler facing the mountains, here, in the gentlest way, the memories of Yunnan are etched into life.

Epilogue
As the last ray of sunset drapes Cangshan in golden silk and the waves of Cibi Lake begin to sparkle like stars, steam still rises gently from the hot spring pools at Yufeng Hotel. Here, there are no hurried footsteps, only the sound of time flowing slowly. Perhaps, the meaning of travel has never been about the destination, but about a moment when one...
