🌿 Main Features
Premium Hot Spring Quality:
The hot spring water emerges at a high temperature of 66–68°C, yellowish in color and slightly salty in taste. It is rich in minerals and trace elements such as bromine, iodine, lithium, strontium, iron, barium, and radium. Seven indicators meet China’s national standard for medical thermal mineral water. Especially notable is the radium content, which also meets international medical-grade standards. For this reason, it is called the “Spirit of Springs (泉灵)” and is considered to have therapeutic value.

The resort features 31 indoor and outdoor pools, including wood baths, wine pool, polygonum pool, papaya pool, coffee pool, herbal pools, massage pools, high-temperature pools, natural spring pools, and couple’s pools.
A special highlight is the Six Fortune Pools (六福汤)—featuring Angelica, Ginseng, Goji Berry, Mint, Lingzhi, and Aloe. Additional facilities include stone slab springs, ice rooms, aroma rooms, and light wave baths.
Environment & Ambience:
Surrounded by blooming wildflowers, lush forests, clear streams, and waterfalls, Wenjinjiang Hot Spring (文锦江温泉) offers a serene and refreshing environment—blending grandeur, tranquility, and natural beauty.
