A hidden millennium-old Yao herbal bath secret in Guangdong! I love this fairy-tale hotel

️Nestled among the peaks of northern Guangdong's Liannan lies a treasure trove where you can immerse yourself in the thousand-year wisdom of the Yao people—the Guangdong Yaoshan Cultural Hotel✨ The most irresistible feature here is the Yao herbal bath that has been passed down for over 600 years! (Located at No. 1 Museum Road, Sanjiang Town, Liannan Yao Autonomous County)

💦 Unlike ordinary hot springs that offer a "lie-flat" relaxation, the essence of the Yao bath lies in "simmering" and "soaking"! The hotel's Yao herbal bath ingredients are all selected from the local deep mountains⛰️ and are blended by Yao herbal farmers according to ancient formulas, then slowly simmered over a wood fire for several hours🔥 The resulting herbal soup is a rich amber color, and even before entering the pool, you can smell the fresh scent of herbs and plants (open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed on Mondays)

🌿 Shed your fatigue and step into the pool. The warm herbal soup envelops your entire body, and the tension from your toes to your shoulders gradually dissipates, as if every pore is breathing in the mountain's spiritual energy🍃 While soaking, you can listen to Yao ladies tell ancient legends: in the past, ancestors working in the forests often bathed in herbal water to drive away cold and dampness. Today, this wisdom has become an intangible cultural heritage treasure!

🌜 Even better! The hotel customizes exclusive formulas based on guests' needs:
✅ Dampness-removing version: perfect for southern cuties
✅ Sleep-aid version: a savior for insomniacs
✅ Soothing version: a must-have for hardworking people
After soaking, enjoy a cup of Yao warm stomach tea, and you'll feel completely cozy💫

🌌 If you want to escape the city's hustle and bustle, come to Liannan~ soak in an authentic Yao bath at the Yaoshan Cultural Hotel, let the power of thousand-year-old herbs heal your body and mind, and fall asleep to the sound of insects in the mountains💤 This is the right way to enjoy a Lingnan vacation!

🎯 Tips:
1️⃣ Remember to book one day in advance to ensure fresh herbs
2️⃣ It’s recommended to combine with a museum visit to fully experience Yao culture
3️⃣ There are also ancient villages and terraced fields nearby worth checking out
