Location & Transportation

Shangbang Hot Spring is nestled in Hailan Village, Jinfeng Town, Jiulongpo District, Chongqing. It’s about a 40-minute drive from central Chongqing, making it a peaceful escape from the city hustle. If you’re coming by car, just set your GPS to “Shangbang Hot Spring, No. 3 Shangbang Road”—easy! For public transport, take the metro to Xipengyo Station and hop in a taxi for the final 10-minute ride.

Natural Landscape

Imagine soaking in mineral-rich waters surrounded by lush forests and fresh mountain air. Shangbang Hot Spring has over 30 unique hot spring pools, each with its own vibe. The spa zone features jetted pools for muscle relaxation, while the essential oil zone combines aromatherapy with steamy bliss. Herb lovers will dig the medicinal baths, perfect for detoxing. At night, the pools glow under lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere.

Cultural Highlights

While there’s no ancient history here, Shangbang blends modern luxury with nature. The 17 standalone hot spring villas are a big draw. Each villa has a spacious balcony where you can sip tea while gazing at rolling hills and steamy pools. It’s all about privacy and calm—think less “tourist spot” and more “exclusive retreat.”

Amenities

The resort nails comfort. Besides the villas, there’s a 360-degree sunrise view restaurant serving Asian and European dishes. Think freshly baked bread, spicy Sichuan noodles, and fruit tarts—all while watching the mist rise over the valley. They also offer private hot spring bookings if you prefer a couples’ soak.

Experience Tips

Start your day early to beat the crowds. Begin with a relaxing dip in the herbal pools, then move to the hot stone beds for a sweat. Lunch at the restaurant is a feast for the eyes (and stomach). Afternoons are great for exploring the villas—some even have private pools. End with a sunset soak in the outdoor jacuzzi. Pro tip: Book a villa with a mountain view—it’s worth every penny.

Shangbang Hot Spring isn’t just about bathing; it’s about slowing down. Whether you’re unwinding in a pool, feasting on pancakes, or stargazing from your villa, this spot turns a trip into a mini-vacation. Perfect for couples, friends, or solo travelers craving tranquility. Ready for some “me time”? This is your place.
