My husband and I took the kids to Tengchong, and this forest hot spring is even more amazing than Thailand's!

Winter is really the perfect time to bring kids to Tengchong for hot springs♨️! The spring water bubbles up from geothermal sources, and this border town is perfect for family vacations. The kids have a great time, and adults can fully relax~ If you're traveling with kids, I highly recommend these natural hot spring hotels🏨. Whether at the foot of a volcano, in the forest, or by the lake, there are flowing hot springs🍃. It's so cozy for the whole family to soak together~ 🌈 Immersive family experience: ✔ Stay at a luxury wild hot spring hotel with private hot springs in the room ✔ Light hiking on Gaoligong Mountain, birdwatching and waterfall viewing with kids 🐦 ✔ Soak in natural wild hot springs♨ ✔ Take photos at Heiyu River Scenic Area, like stepping into "Little Iceland of Yunnan" ✔ Eat hot spring boiled eggs at Rehai Scenic Area 🥚 ✔ Visit the Simola Wa ethnic village to experience local culture ✔ Ride a hot air balloon at the Volcano Geopark 🎈 ✔ Dine at Earth Tea Sea with healing tea garden views ✔ Forest picnic + traditional oil lamp stewed chicken 🐔, kids love it! 🏨 Recommended family hot spring hotels: 📍Era Hot Spring Resort Hotel Detached villas with small courtyards and private hot springs, very private.
