Nestled at the foot of the sacred Mount Emei and adjacent to the ancient Baoguo Temple, the Zen Hot Spring - Ten Directions Three Courtyards (Baoguo Temple, Mount Emei) takes "Zen" as its soul and "hot spring" as its medium, creating a tranquil and serene space for travelers to wash away the hustle and bustle and return to their true selves. Although it is not a natural hot spring, it has become a unique and charming place for healing and relaxation at the foot of Mount Emei through the ingenious integration of water quality and Zen aesthetics.
1. Surrounded by Zen, every step is a scene of tranquility. The hot spring area is designed with a "Zen Oriental" theme, ingeniously drawing inspiration from the elegance of Mount Emei and the Zen charm of Baoguo Temple. Elements such as raw wood, bluestone, bamboo shadows, and dry landscapes are integrated into the spatial texture. As you step in, the hustle and bustle fades away, and only the gentle chime of wind chimes under the eaves and the clear chirping of birds in the forest can be heard, accompanied by the faint scent of sandalwood. In the courtyard, moss covers the stones, and winding paths lead to secluded corners. Occasionally, plain-colored lanterns hang from the branches, and the interplay of light and shadow fully reveals the serene scene of "living in the midst of people, yet free from the noise of carriages and horses." The public hot spring area is laid out in a semi-open layout, ensuring the transparency of the space while using bamboo fences, screens, and green plants to skillfully divide the areas, creating a comfortable atmosphere that is private yet not closed off. Every guest can feel the peace and tranquility of Zen while getting close to nature.
2. Craftsmanship in hot springs, healing the body and mind to return to the true self. Although there is no natural hot spring, the hot spring selects water quality with strict standards and uses advanced purification and constant temperature systems to ensure that the water is clean and warm, maintaining a suitable body temperature throughout the year. The hot spring pools are simple yet elegant, either surrounded by raw wood or paved with bluestone. The poolside is decorated with Zen plants such as pine branches and calamus, paired with soft warm light and soothing Zen music. As soon as you step into the water, all your fatigue disappears. Although there are no private hot springs, the reasonable space planning and low-density customer flow management avoid congestion and noise. Guests can enjoy a peaceful soak in the public pools, closing their eyes and listening to the Zen music and watching the bamboo shadows, allowing the warm water to soothe their bodies and minds and find inner clarity and peace.
3. Zen extends, immersive experience of slow life. Besides the comfortable hot spring experience, Ten Directions Three Courtyards also integrates Zen into every detail.

Every day, there are small Zen practice activities such as copying sutras and meditation, guided by professional instructors, helping guests let go of distractions and return to inner peace. In addition, the hot spring is close to Baoguo Temple. After soaking, guests can walk to the ancient temple to pay respects and feel the solemnity and solemnity of the thousand-year-old Zen temple, making the Zen experience more complete.
