Location & Accessibility

Xin Yue Hot Spring is tucked away in a peaceful corner of Qingcheng Mountain, Dujiangyan, just an hour’s drive from downtown Chengdu. The exact address is No. 222 Dasan Road, Qingcheng Mountain Town, opposite Qingcheng Shanfang. If you’re coming from Chengdu, take the high-speed train to Dujiangyan Station, then a short taxi ride (around 20 minutes) will drop you at this hidden gem. Driving here is even better—the winding roads through Qingcheng Mountain feel like a mini-adventure, with lush greenery and fresh air welcoming you all the way.

Natural Scenery: A Mountain Retreat

Nestled in the heart of Qingcheng Mountain, Xin Yue Hot Spring feels like a secret pulled from a painting. The area is famous for its mountain springs and misty forests, and the hot spring itself is surrounded by towering trees and calming streams. When you soak in the outdoor pools, you’ll see forest-covered hills right across from you, with birds chirping and the sound of running water adding to the peace. It’s the perfect escape from city noise, especially at dawn or sunset when the light dances off the leaves.

Cultural Vibes: Taoist Tranquility

This place isn’t just about relaxation—it’s soaked in Taoist culture. Every detail, from the hotel’s wooden architecture to the simple yet elegant rooms, reflects the “less is more” philosophy of Taoism. They even use Watson’s horse oil bath products, which leave your skin smelling herbal and fresh. The six Japanese-style soup pools are designed to balance mind and body, with names like “Blood-Nourishing Pool” or “Wind-Removing Pool” that hint at their healing powers. Even the layout—one house, one garden, every plant intentionally placed—feels like a lesson in harmony with nature.

Spa Facilities: Relaxation on Demand

Xin Yue Hot Spring goes all-in on comfort. There are six different hot spring pools, each with a unique superpower: some help tired muscles, others brighten your skin, and one even gives you a mental boost. After soaking, head indoors to unwind in the two steam rooms (like a warm hug for your muscles) or sink into the massage chairs. The outdoor observation pools let you stargaze or watch the fog roll over the mountains. And yes, there’s free tea—think jasmine or chrysanthemum—to sip while you lounge.

The Experience: From Dip to Dream

A day at Xin Yue Hot Spring feels like a journey. Start with a dip in the herbal pool to wake up your senses, then move to the beauty pool for a skin-glowing soak. Between swims, grab a movie in the tiny cinema (perfect for unwinding) or chat with friends over tea by the poolside. The private rooms are a treat too—each has its own balcony, so you can listen to crickets while sipping tea. By evening, the lights twinkle like fireflies, and the hot springs turn into a magical, steamy wonderland.

Tips for Visitors

  • Best Time to Visit: Spring and autumn for mild weather, but winter’s quiet snowy views are unforgettable.
  • What to Bring: Swimsuit, comfy shoes for walking, and a good book for post-soak relaxation.
  • Food Nearby: Try the local Qingcheng Mountain cuisine (like stir-fry wild mushrooms) at the hotel’s restaurant—it’s farm-to-table fresh.

Xin Yue Hot Spring isn’t just a spa—it’s a chance to breathe deeply, slow down, and let Taoist wisdom and nature’s beauty soak into your bones. Perfect for a weekend retreat or a cultural escape, this is Chengdu’s answer to “forest therapy” with a side of luxury.
