[2025 Taoyuan ] Travel Guide for Yunding Hot Spring Tourist Resort, Reshi (Updated Apr)

For people in Changde and Taoyuan, the most popular hot springs are Wanfou Hot Spring in Zhangjiajie and Yunding Hot Spring in Reshi. But for those who have never been there, they may have questions like: What is it like to soak in a hot spring? Is it worth the price? Is it cold to soak in a hot spring in winter? I went to Yunding Hot Spring in Reshi from Taoyuan County this time, so I would like to share my questions before going and my feelings after going. 1. Preparation for hot spring: ① It is best to bring your own swimsuit, but a swimming cap is not necessary. ② If you mind public slippers, you can bring your own plastic slippers. ③ Change of clothes and towels (you can also not bring them if you don't change) 2. Transportation: It is best to drive by yourself from Changde and Taoyuan, and parking is free. It is not cost-effective to take the expressway from Taoyuan. But the road to Qi River is easy to drive, but there are many cars on the road, especially trucks. 3. What to do at Yunding Hot Spring: ① Spend the weekend with children: Yunding Hot Spring has a children's area where you can bring your children to play in the water. ② Relax with friends: There are many large and small hot spring pools, as well as saunas and stone rooms. It is a good place to "be honest with each other". 4. Is it cold to go in winter: Although the temperature is low, even if you are outdoors, you will not feel cold after soaking for a while. If you feel cold, you can also choose an indoor hot spring pool. 5. Can I spend a whole day there, and what are the bad experiences? I personally think that soaking in a hot spring for a maximum of 4 hours is enough. It is not comfortable to soak for too long. The high temperature is refreshing for a while, but after a long time, it is a little breathless and needs to rest. So if you just soak, you can't spend a whole day there. Bad experience: People smoke in the stone room and sauna, and some tourists urinate near the hot spring pool.

📍 Location: Changde Reshi Yunding Hot Spring Every year I go to Nanjing Tangshan Hot Spring, but this time I heard that Changde's Yunding Hot Spring is super popular, so I decided to come and experience it! Let me share with you my Yunding Hot Spring trip~ Starting from the city, you can reach Reshi Yunding Hot Spring Resort in 50 kilometers, it's so convenient! The antique city gate at the entrance of the resort gives a grand momentum, with "Yunding Hot Spring" written on it, you can feel its long history. The parking lot P is located in front of the artificial lake halfway up the mountain, and you can see the conference center and an ancient tower as soon as you get off the car, full of the flavor of ancient times. What attracts me most is the indoor tropical cloud forest area, which is built with glass steel greenhouses. Going in is like entering a tropical rainforest, warm as spring, with various tropical characteristic plants everywhere. The most amazing thing is the huge karst cave, accompanied by the soaking of hot spring water, you can enjoy the comfort of soaking in the hot spring while admiring the wonders of the karst cave. Oh, there is also a fish therapy pool, but you have to pay extra~ After leaving the rainforest area, you come to the outdoor hot spring area, which is the highlight of Yunding Hot Spring! On the way up the mountain, the Tang Dynasty style hot spring soup street attracted my attention. There are various types of soup pools on both sides of the wooden house, with temperatures around 41-42 degrees Celsius. After the soup street, you will arrive at the top of the mountain in the outdoor hot spring area, the whole top of the mountain is steaming, with clouds and mist, it's so beautiful! Soaking in the soup pool on the top of the mountain, while admiring the snow scene on the mountain, and overlooking the entire Reshi town, it's so great! Compared with Nanjing Tangshan, Yunding Hot Spring has a larger area, richer facilities, more types of soup pools, and it is also located on the top of the mountain, with more spectacular natural scenery! There are also restaurants, glass plank roads, children's water playgrounds and wave pools, which are especially suitable for bringing the elderly and children together. However, the group purchase price of 164 yuan is relatively expensive compared to Nanjing Tangshan, but here you can both soak in the hot spring and play, it really takes into account both, very suitable for a family winter trip. The only regret is that the outdoor soup pool does not have spare towels, and there is no place to change a towel. It's easy to catch a cold when soaking in the hot spring on the mountain in such cold weather, so remember to bring your own towels! Come to Changde Reshi Yunding Hot Spring Resort and enjoy the wonderful time of warm soaking together!
