Coming to Lixian, Western Sichuan for hot springs in winter is absolutely amazing! The hot springs ♨️ at Ramada Gurgou Hotel instantly made me fall in love with this place. Enjoying warmth surrounded by snowy mountains, I want to enthusiastically recommend this slow life happiness to you all~
🏨 Hotel Guide
Ramada Gurgou Hotel in Lixian (Address: No. 33 Wenquan Road, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province) is really perfect for a vacation! The rooms are decorated in Tibetan style, with snowy mountain views right outside the window. The most important thing is their famous hot springs, open year-round from 09:00 to 22:00. Tickets are 158 RMB per person, and hotel guests can enjoy the hot springs for free!
♨️ Must-try Hot Spring Experience
The hotel’s infinity hot spring pool is the best spot to check in! Surrounded by snowy mountains, soaking in the 38°C hot spring with steam rising looks like a fairyland✨
There are more than 20 indoor and outdoor hot spring pools with different effects, including Tibetan medicine pools, red wine pools, sulfur pools... I recommend coming in the evening to soak while watching the sunset and enjoying the warmth.
📷 Photo Tips
1️⃣ Be sure to take back shots at the infinity pool with the snowy mountain background—absolutely stunning
2️⃣ It’s recommended to wear solid color swimsuits, white or red are the most photogenic
3️⃣ Bring some small props like flower crowns or straw hats for a vacation vibe
4️⃣ After soaking, remember to take photos in the hotel lobby’s Tibetan-style architecture area; the wooden houses and colorful flags have strong ethnic characteristics
👗 Dressing Guide
The temperature difference is large during the day, recommended:
✓ Swimsuit + white/red scarf (for photos)
✓ Warm jacket (for morning and evening)
✓ Boots (for snow slip resistance)
✓ Sunglasses (strong reflection from snow)
💡 Useful Tips:
✔️ No food allowed in the hot spring area, but you can bring a water bottle
✔️ Remember to book in advance, especially on weekends when it’s crowded
✔️ Pay attention to hydration and altitude sickness prevention in high-altitude areas
✔️ It’s recommended to stay one night to slowly enjoy the slow life here
