Location & Accessibility

Yufa Tianyuan Water Park sits in Tangquan Street, Pukou District, Nanjing, surrounded by lush hills and hot spring resources.

The park blends into its natural landscape, making it feel like a hidden paradise near the city.

Natural Scenery

The park is nestled between mountains and a calm lake, with paths that wind through forests and wetlands. You’ll spot ducks swimming in the water, hear birds chirping, and breathe fresh air. In spring, cherry blossoms and wildflowers add vibrant colors, while winter brings a peaceful, foggy atmosphere. It’s a great spot for photos or just relaxing by the water.

Cultural Highlights

Yufa Tianyuan isn’t just about nature—it’s packed with cultural touches too. The park celebrates Hakka traditions (common in southern China) with folk performances, like lion dances and traditional music. You’ll also find Chinese painting studios where artists create works inspired by the scenery. Even the architecture mixes rustic farmhouses with modern designs, giving you a taste of both old and new China.

Family-Friendly Fun

The water park here is a hit with kids and adults alike! There are slides, lazy rivers, and splash zones, plus a giant wave pool. Nearby, you’ll find adventure activities like zip-lining or ropes courses. For something calmer, try the hot springs, which are said to have mineral benefits.

You won’t go hungry at Yufa Tianyuan. The on-site restaurants serve local Nanjing dishes, like salted duck and rice dumplings, plus BBQ and snacks. If you want to stay longer, there are cozy cabins or hotels with lake views. Some even have private hot spring baths—perfect for a weekend getaway.
