The best hotel in the area, the check-in and check-out procedures at the front desk were very fast, and the room with a hot spring and river view was very good.

There is also a rest area with many free snacks and pumpkin porridge. In addition, you have to pay for the mud bath at your own expense, but the swimsuit is easily soiled. There is a food street right outside the hotel gate with a wide variety of food. I recommend trying the hanging pot fish, which is quite special and tastes good. There is hot spring water with a temperature of up to 98 degrees around the Fuquan Tang Valley next to it. Remember to buy a bag of wild eggs and try to boil them in the hot spring. It’s really delicious. You can also soak your feet and play in the water next to it when you have time.
