Great Family Trip Spot in Guangxi | Shangsi Butou Hot Spring "Cotton Castle" Fun for Kids

Hey everyone! Let me recommend a fantastic family-friendly destination near Guangxi — Butou Hot Spring in Shangsi County, Fangchenggang. It's known as the "Turkish Cotton Castle of Shangsi," and taking the kids there is super fun! 🥳

📍Easy to find: Butou Hot Spring is located in the northern suburbs of Shangsi County, Fangchenggang. You don’t have to travel far with the kids, and the transportation is very convenient~
The hot spring environment is absolutely amazing! Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side, with lush trees and layered greenery all around, the beautiful scenery instantly lifts your mood~ Soaking in the hot spring, you can enjoy stunning mountain views from every angle. The kids share what they see with me while soaking, making the parent-child interaction super heartwarming✔️

🏠Wide variety of accommodations: The resort’s rooms are built along the mountains, offering so many types that you’ll be spoiled for choice! There are cute mountain cabins, spacious mountain villas, lakeside villas with lake views, whimsical magical ice houses, as well as stilt houses, lakeside boat houses, and RVs. Staying in different room types with the kids feels like starting a new adventure~
The rooms have a simple modern style with fresh decor. Step outside the room, and you’re greeted by a lush green landscape🍃🍃. The kids can’t wait to play outdoors every day, getting close to nature and having a blast~
Spending a night here with family and kids, away from the city noise, breathing fresh mountain air, makes you feel completely relaxed and healed — it’s so comfortable 🥰

♨️Amazing natural hot springs: Butou Hot Spring is a natural mineral spring. The water gushes from stone caves by the ditch, with a daily flow of 12,000 cubic meters — plenty of water! The temperature stays between 38°C and 42°C year-round, which is just right, so the kids won’t feel uncomfortable soaking~
The spring water contains 38 kinds of minerals beneficial to the human body, including zinc, manganese, and iron. After soaking, your skin feels soft and smooth. Soaking with the kids is also great for health — super awesome~
