Qingyuan Yinzan Junlan Tested! A Private Hot Spring Secret Realm Turns a Hot Spring Vacation into a Healing Movie

As a travel enthusiast who has soaked in hot springs all over the Pearl River Delta for a year, the "Yinzan Junlan Hot Spring Hotel" I discovered in Qingyuan Yinzan Valley is truly a "fatigue crusher" for workers! Driving just 1 hour from Guangzhou through a tree-lined mountain road, suddenly white walls and black tiles shrouded in hot spring mist unfold before your eyes. The immersive experience of soaking in hot springs, tasting tea, and stargazing for three days and two nights must be shared with the authentic feel straight from the original camera— 🏡 The secluded dream in a private hot spring courtyard, details warm the heart so much you want to move in I chose the "Yunqi Terrace Room" with an independent private hot spring. Opening the door, I was struck by the soaking pool on the bluestone terrace: bamboo lounge chairs and rustic pottery tea sets are placed by the poolside. In the evening, brewing a pot of Yingde black tea while soaking, watching mountain sparrows skim the water surface creating ripples✨. The room is minimalist Zen style, with wooden lattice and linen bedding. The highlight is the "hot spring spa bathtub" in the bathroom. Sprinkling the hotel’s handmade mugwort bath balls, after soaking, every inch of skin feels like it’s breathing! After nightfall, the butler quietly delivered warm lotus seed and peach gum soup, with a "Good night, sweet dreams" note on the glass jar—this detail hit me right in the feels~ ♨️ A forest healing area made up of 26 pools, soaking from dawn to the Milky Way The hotel’s hot spring area is like a breathing three-dimensional garden: the "Bamboo Rain Spring" hidden deep in the bamboo forest lets you hear bamboo leaves rustling into the pool while soaking; the "Herbal Spring" is rich with the aroma of angelica and codonopsis, making you sweat after 15 minutes; the most amazing is the mountaintop "Starry Sky Pool," where lanterns light up at night and you can see the Milky Way pouring down overhead. Staff also serve warm longan and red date tea🌌. Secretly, the hot spring water is a slightly silicic acid spring from 1800 meters underground. After soaking, skin is as tender as if you applied ten face masks, and makeup the next day goes on flawlessly! 🍲 Qingyuan local flavors on the tip of the tongue, locals’ secret menu fully revealed Breakfast must-have is the freshly steamed "Qingyuan Bamboo Tube Rice," glutinous rice mixed with native pork and shiitake mushrooms, served in a green bamboo tube, with a fragrance of rice and bamboo🥢. For lunch at the lakeside Chinese restaurant, I ordered the signature "Lemongrass Baked Qingyuan Chicken," with crispy skin and meat infused with the fresh scent of lemongrass; dinner featured the "Beijiang Fresh Fish Hot Pot," with freshly caught catfish sliced and cooked in 10 seconds, paired with ginger soy sauce so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows raise! The biggest surprise was the hot spring afternoon tea, mugwort green rice cakes paired with cold-brewed Yingde black tea, sitting in a bamboo pavilion watching mountain mist rise—this is the ritual a vacation should have~ 📝 Recharge guide for workers (hidden ways to save 30% budget) 1.
