#Huashuiwan Hot Spring Resort Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Take a break at a mountain homestay during the holidays!
Hua Shui Bay has a new homestay that I urge everyone to visit. Da Yi Hua Shui Bay has recently opened a new homestay, and I recommend you hurry over to Xi Yu Xi Hot Spring Homestay which is nicely located by the mountain and near the water.
It takes us about two hours to drive there from Chengdu, and the road conditions are very good, with nice scenery along the way. The place is surrounded by two streams, forests, and bamboo groves. We stayed in a ground-floor room with a private hot spring, and every detail of the room was great. The bedding was also very nice and comfortable.
There's underfloor heating, smart lighting, and an intelligent toilet.
In the morning, when you open the curtains, you see a lush green forest, and at night, soaking in the hot spring is very relaxing. The staff service is very nice.
They also gave us two glasses of red wine and a beauty-enhancing stew. The whole environment has a Japanese pastoral style, and it's very photogenic. You can take a walk in the nearby forest, and there's a babbling brook right beside it. In the afternoon, you can also go camping and have afternoon tea.
I've already guessed that you'll want to come here to play in the water in the summer. There's also an independent coffee shop with a retro decoration style that's very photogenic.

The May Day holiday is crowded, so you might want to go to Dayi in Chengdu instead of where it's packed with people
🚉Travel tips:
It takes about half an hour from Chengdu Station to Dayi Station.
It's a 1-hour drive from Chengdu.
✅Must experience:
Xiling Snow Mountain
The highest peak in Chengdu, with snow on the summit all year round, May is the perfect time for the blooming of rhododendrons and dove trees.
Huashuiwan
Surrounded by mountains, with a variety of European-style buildings, it feels like being in a foreign country, very suitable for relaxing.
🏨Hotel environment: European-style mansions in Xiling Ancient Town, with both modern and Republic of China styles.

The 2-hour drive from Chengdu to the dreamy European-style hot spring paradise is within reach
Chengdu's winter makes one want to burst into song: I really want to escape, but I can't run away🥶
At this time, we must call upon Chengdu's three winter treasures: the sun, snow, and hot springs♨️
-
The sun and snow are at the mercy of Mother Nature🔥 I've almost tried all the hot springs around Sichuan's Chengdu, but my personal favorite has to be the Huashuiwan Hot Springs at Haihui Temple♻️:
-
This 'Huashuiwan Hot Springs Town'🏰, filled with European style and characterized by red-roofed white buildings, is located in Dayi, a 2-hour drive from downtown Chengdu🚙 The hot springs are known as 'Heavenly Wonder Springs' and are sulfur hot springs, containing more than a dozen trace elements needed by the human body, with temperatures reaching up to 68℃♨️
-
Opening hours📍
09:00-23:00, suitable for someone like me who needs both morning and evening dips, and also helps to avoid the early morning rush;
Hot spring water quality📍
The water is ancient sea sulfur hot springs. The smell and mineral impurities are authentic
Rich variety of pools📍
The outdoor Băilè Soup pools number over 30, secretly scattered amidst the natural undulating landscape;
-
♨️Hot spring experience:
When I went, there were three larger pools with clear water, and many smaller pools with sulfur water, which had a stronger smell. We chose the clear water. The top pool had flowing water in the afternoon, but it turned stagnant at night. The middle one is hotter, too much for most people, and the most conspicuous pool by the road was crowded, and although it's the most photogenic, we didn't go because it was too crowded.
-
♨️Hot spring tips:
1⃣️Off-peak timing: Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, and daytime is less crowded than nighttime.
2⃣️Always bring water when going to hot springs! Especially if it's your first time, we saw a guy who fainted because he didn't drink enough water! Make sure to drink plenty of water while soaking!

Taking advantage of the first snow of 2024, let's go for a private hot spring
Hua Shui Bay Hot Spring Tourist Resort
In the early 2023, on a snowy day, we found a hidden island in a valley far from the city. It is surrounded by bamboo streams, and the only way to get to it is an old bridge. It seems to be completely isolated from this bustling world, so we decided to build a healing place here.
After a year of construction, we also welcomed the first day of meeting. With the first snow of 2024, the entire project also entered the final stage. We look forward to meeting you officially as soon as possible!

I've been all over Chengdu, and in my personal opinion, the plum forest here is the most beautiful
🌟 Explore the secret plum forest around Chengdu, encounter the beauty of winter.🌸
🏞️ Wandering through the streets and alleys of Chengdu, just to find the most beautiful plum forest. Don't just limit yourself to the crowded Tianche Slope and Daping Mountain, I will reveal to you a free plum forest that blooms earliest in 2024, so you can stand out in your circle of friends!
🌺 Walking in this valley surrounded by plum blossoms, it's like being in a pink and white ocean. There are distant mountains, snow, plum forests, dirt roads, fields, with rich three-dimensional layers, as beautiful as a painting.
🌸 The plum blossoms here are mainly bright red petals, which have a different flavor compared to the white plum blossoms of Daping Village. Looking far away, the ancient town of Xieyuan is faintly visible, as if you are in a fairyland.
🍃 This place is rarely visited by people, without tourists disturbing, listen to your own breathing in the forest, enjoy a quiet moment. But remember, don't go deep into the forest between the slopes to avoid getting lost, and please take away all the garbage to protect this beautiful natural scenery.
📆 It is currently in full bloom and is expected to last until mid-to-late February. If you want to easily contract a plum forest for taking pictures and playing, don't miss this fairy viewing plum place!

Come to Huashui Bay Town for autumn appreciation and hot springs
This is my second time to Huashui Bay. The last time was in early spring this year, specifically to see the skiing in Xiling Snow Mountain, this time I came to see the snow scene with my family!!
Beautiful Huashui Bay Resort Town, located in the mysterious 30° north latitude, in the southwest of Dayi County, west of Chengdu. The negative oxygen ion content in the resort area far exceeds that of Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area, which belongs to the subtropical humid monsoon climate, without severe cold in winter and severe heat in summer. The average summer temperature is 5-6℃ lower than that of Chengdu city, which is undoubtedly the "third pole" of Chengdu's summer resort.
The resort has two core scenic spots, Huashui Bay Hot Spring Resort and Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Spot. Around the two core themes, it has developed the three major characteristic brands of "Snow Mountain, Forest, and Hot Spring". Among them, Xiling Snow Mountain Scenic Spot has won many honors such as the World Natural Heritage Sichuan Giant Panda Habitat, National Scenic Spot, National AAAA Tourist Scenic Spot, National Forest Park, etc., and has initially formed a four-season tourism pattern of "spring appreciation of rhododendrons, summer resort, autumn viewing of red leaves, and winter skiing".
"Huashui Bay Hot Spring Resort" has been rated as a National AAAA Tourist Scenic Spot, and has won the United Nations Human Settlements Environment Award. Huashui Bay Hot Spring is the only composite high-temperature medical mineral spring in Chengdu area.
Is the Huashui Bay Town, which has won so many honors, worth going again and again?
