Location & Accessibility

Jurassic Hot Spring Park is nestled in Dujiangyan, a city renowned for its ancient irrigation system and natural beauty, just an hour’s drive from downtown Chengdu. The park sits at No. 1 Lingxiu Road, near the intersection of Rainbow Avenue and Lingxiu Road, making it easy to spot. If you’re coming from Chengdu, take the metro to Dujiangyan Station and hop in a taxi—it’s a quick 10-minute ride. Drivers can enjoy free parking, a rare treat in China!

Natural Wonders

What makes Jurassic Hot Spring Park special? For starters, its water comes from a 2,500-meter-deep underground source, heated naturally by geothermal activity. The springs are warm and inviting, with temperatures between 38°C and 42°C (perfect for soaking!). But it’s not just about the heat—the water is packed with strontium, bromine, and other minerals that are great for your skin and joints. Imagine bathing in water that’s been purified over millions of years!

The park itself feels like a jungle. Lush trees, rocky terrain, and steam rising from pools create a mystical atmosphere. At night, the place transforms into a glowing oasis with lanterns and soft lighting, adding to the charm.

Prehistoric-Themed Fun

Here’s the coolest part: Jurassic Hot Spring Park doubles as a dinosaur-themed adventure. Think life-sized dinosaur sculptures, fossil-shaped pools, and even a “volcano” waterfall. It’s like stepping into a lost world where relaxation meets Jurassic Park. Families love it because kids can splash around while parents unwind, and couples find it romantic (hello, Instagram photos!).

Wellness & Recreation

Jurassic Hot Spring Park isn’t just about soaking—it’s a full-day destination. After your dip, head to the on-site spa for a massage using locally sourced oils. There’s also a gym, yoga studio, and even a cinema showing nature documentaries. Hungry? The park has hot pot restaurants serving Sichuan’s famously spicy soup, plus casual cafes for lighter fare. Pro tip: Try the moxibustion (a traditional Chinese therapy) to boost your energy post-soak.

Family-Friendly Vibes

With kids in mind, Jurassic Hot Spring Park has shallow pools, water slides, and a playground. Parents can relax knowing their little ones are safe (and entertained!). For something unique, check out the “fossil dig” activity, where kids hunt for fake dino bones buried in sand—a hit with toddlers and tweens alike.

Why Visit?

Jurassic Hot Spring Park stands out because it blends health, fun, and nature seamlessly. Unlike typical bathhouses, it’s designed for all-day exploration. Start with a morning soak, grab lunch, explore the themed zones, and end with a sunset walk. Whether you’re a wellness junkie, a family traveler, or someone who just loves quirky attractions, this spot has something for everyone.

Plus, it’s just 60 km from Chengdu, so you can easily visit as a day trip or weekend getaway. Trust me, after a long soak in those mineral-rich springs, you’ll leave feeling like a brand-new human—Jurassic Park style!
