Tangshan Yipin: A Serene Hot Spring Retreat at the Foot of Purple Mountain to Savor Leisurely Moments

Located in the heart of the Tangshan Hot Spring Resort Area in Nanjing, Tangshan Yipin is a hidden vacation haven that blends millennia-old hot spring heritage with modern elegant living. Relying on Tangshan’s high-quality mineral spring resources, it centers on "exquisite, private, and Zen" concepts, stepping away from the traditional hot spring bustle to create a tranquil warm spring sanctuary for those seeking peace and rejuvenation.

The spring vein is the foundation of Tangshan Yipin. The hot spring water, drawn from underground rock layers a thousand meters deep, maintains a constant temperature of 58-62°C and is rich in trace elements such as fluoride and metasilicic acid. The water is clear and silky, offering both healing and nourishing effects. The hot spring area is designed according to the landscape, featuring independent hot spring courtyards hidden among bamboo groves, enclosed by blue tiles and wooden fences to create private spaces. Each poolside has a tea table where guests can brew tea and watch the bamboo while bathing, with steam and tea fragrance intertwining. There are also scenic hot spring pools scattered throughout, some built by the stream to listen to the flowing water, others set beside stones covered with moss. Every pool uses nature as its backdrop, making bathing a dialogue with the mountains and waters.

The leisure experience exudes elegance. After soaking, guests can head to the Zen-inspired rest area, choose a soft window-side couch, cover themselves with a cashmere blanket, and listen to gentle ancient music while seasonal fresh fruits and warm health teas are placed on the table. For those who love quiet, the book bar houses various classics; running fingers over the pages brings warmth from body to heart. For light exercise, the yoga room’s floor-to-ceiling windows overlook lush forests and bamboo groves, allowing the body to stretch with the morning light and fully relax. The dining area focuses on "healthy light meals," featuring silky and flavorful hot spring eggs, fresh and mellow mushroom soup, and Jiangnan-style dishes made with local ingredients, each bite revealing the natural essence.

Thoughtful details abound—the bathing area provides premium toiletries and skin-friendly bathrobes, and the staff offer gentle, unobtrusive service. Even in winter, the courtyard pools are surrounded by warm lights, with rising steam mingling with pine branches, creating a cozy atmosphere. In spring, cherry blossoms drift by the poolside, pink and white petals floating on the water’s surface, romantic and tranquil.

Tangshan Yipin is not just a hot spring resort but a "healing sanctuary" for urbanites to escape the noise. Here, soaking in a warm pool, enjoying slow moments, watching mountains and listening to water, sipping tea and reading, one can gently shed life’s fatigue and regain balance and peace of mind.
