Bamboo Sea + Hot Springs, the Right Way to Enjoy Autumn and Winter

When the temperature drops in Liyang, it's time to embark on this "ice and fire" healing journey! In the morning, dive into the misty Nanshan Bamboo Sea and watch the colorful forests dye the valleys; in the afternoon, soak in a private bamboo forest hot spring, where warm waters dispel all chill. We've organized the guide for you～ 🌿 Morning: Nanshan Bamboo Sea · Autumn Misty Stroll The Bamboo Sea feels even more atmospheric after the temperature drops! Enter the scenic area before the morning fog clears, with dewdrops hanging on bamboo tips, sunlight filtering through leaves casting golden specks, and occasionally spotting squirrels darting through the bamboo, as if stepping into an ink painting. Must-do route: Take the ground cable car to the Panda Pavilion to see the round pandas hugging bamboo for warmth (pandas are livelier in cold weather) → Take the aerial tram to Wuyue Diyi Peak, climb up to overlook the entire bamboo sea intertwined with colorful forests, with clouds and mist creating a fairyland → Descend by walking the Jinghu bamboo raft, leisurely paddling across the lake while listening to the sound of bamboo and water. Outfit tips: Wear a caramel or beige coat and a knit hat for warmth and to match the autumn bamboo sea vibe; choose non-slip hiking shoes as the stone steps can be wet from dew. ♨️ Afternoon: Yushui Hot Springs · Bamboo Forest Warm Spring Therapy A 10-minute walk from the Bamboo Sea brings you to Yushui Hot Springs. Soaking in hot springs on a cold day is simply wonderful! Thirty-eight hot spring pools are scattered among the bamboo forest, where steaming water meets the cool bamboo breeze, maximizing the healing feeling. Recommended pools: Bamboo Tip Hot Spring (built high in the bamboo forest, soak while enjoying panoramic views of the bamboo sea), Osmanthus Hot Spring (autumn exclusive, with the scent of osmanthus by the pool), Private Courtyard Hot Spring (perfect for couples or close friends, private and quiet). When tired, lie down in the stone slab hot spring for a full-body warm and relaxing experience. Helpful reminders: The hot spring area offers free ginger tea and snacks; bring your own swimsuit or buy one on-site (various styles available); remember to hydrate before and after soaking, and avoid entering on an empty or overly full stomach. 🍲 Evening: Hot Spring Surroundings · Heartwarming Food After soaking, enjoy a hot meal nearby to feel even more comfortable!
