[2025 Liyang Hotels] Travel Guide for Liyang Yushui Hot Spring Forest Hotel (Updated Jul)

#Sign up for tripbest July Hotel Tester* This time I chose to stay at the "Tianmu Lake Royal Water Hot Spring Forest Hotel" in Liyang, Jiangsu. The overall experience is like walking into a forest wonderland! The hotel is surrounded by dense bamboo forests. You can see the lake and mountains when you open the window. The air is filled with fresh bamboo fragrance, which instantly washes away the fatigue of the city. The most amazing thing is the customized hot spring experience! Each room is equipped with an independent hot spring pool. Soaking in the misty hot spring at night, looking up at the starry sky, coupled with the sound of insects coming from afar, it feels like time has slowed down. The hotel also specially designed a "forest trail". Walking in it in the early morning, the dew is sparkling, the birds are singing, and the flowers are fragrant, just like the real version of the "Elf Forest". The room adopts a new Chinese style, with log furniture and soft lighting to create a healing atmosphere. Breakfast integrates local characteristics, especially recommending the freshly boiled fish head soup and freshly picked wild vegetables, which are 100% fresh! If you want to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle, this is definitely the best choice for spiritual healing.

As the warm embrace of summer approaches, the desire to find a refreshing retreat grows stronger. Known as the "Pearl of Jiangnan," Tianmu Lake sits at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces. On one side lies the endless bamboo sea of Nanshan, while the other boasts the stunning scenery of Tianmu Lake. With its "one lake, two mountains" layout—where the lake and mountains harmoniously coexist—and hidden natural hot springs, it’s the perfect summer getaway. ✅ Tianmu Lake Nanshan Bamboo Sea Area This area features two major attractions: the Nanshan Bamboo Sea and Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Springs. Nearby, there are three hotels: Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Springs Resort, Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Springs·Sen Hotel, and Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Springs·Zhuxi Valley. 1️⃣ Nanshan Bamboo Sea: A serene bamboo paradise spanning 35,000 acres, rich in negative oxygen ions. Highlights include giant pandas, a viral mini train, ground cable cars, aerial ropeways, and bamboo rafting—each a delightful choice for family fun. 2️⃣ Yushui Hot Springs: Natural calcium bicarbonate hot springs, rich in minerals, promote health and beauty. The pools are set in stunning surroundings—summer nights under starry skies or winter snowfalls amid bamboo groves—with over 60 themed pools to choose from. Stepping into the room, you’re greeted by a bright and lively ambiance, while the lush greenery outside the balcony lifts your spirits. The loft-style room is smartly designed with clear functional zones. The first floor features an Instagram-worthy color palette, while the attic is themed around space, complete with adorable plush toys that kids will love at first sight. It’s the thoughtful details that truly stand out: thick carpeting on the attic stairs for quietness and safety, rounded edges on walls for childproofing, and amenities like kids' toothbrushes, slippers, towels, step stools, and even a child-sized toilet seat—everything is covered. Tianmu Lake Yushui Hot Springs Resort is the premier five-star hotel near Nanshan Bamboo Sea, exuding elegance with its comprehensive facilities and bamboo-inspired decor that reflects the local charm.

Especially the huge balcony, where you can enjoy a cup of tea and read a book in the morning, with the sound of birds singing and lush greenery in front of you, it's truly healing! 👶 Baby's Exclusive Fun Space 🚀 As a hotel with a family-friendly concept, there are many surprises for kids here! Not only are there cute children's beds and toiletries, but also specially designed play areas that make kids excited as soon as they enter. The most exciting part for the little one is the outdoor exploration activities, where they learn about various plants with the staff, gaining knowledge and exercising at the same time, it's perfect! 🧖‍♀️ Relaxing Hot Spring Journey 🛁 Since we came to Yushui Hot Spring, how can we miss the fun of soaking in the hot spring? In the evening, we went to the hot spring with the whole family, feeling the warmth of the water wrapping around us, and the day's fatigue instantly disappeared. There are also pools with different temperatures and functions, so both adults and children can find a suitable choice, it's very thoughtful! 🎶 Entertainment Facilities 🎤 In addition to enjoying the natural scenery, there are many interesting entertainment activities in the hotel waiting for you to discover. The KTV rooms are filled with laughter, and the chess room is a great place for adults to share experiences. If you're on a self-driving trip, don't worry about finding a charging spot.

✅ I want to share a treasure hotel with a hot spring in Liyang that I visited with my girlfriend. Staying here is really great. Sisters in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai who don't know where to go during the holidays can really save this hotel. ✅ The hotel is in a very good location. The hot spring is right next to it. There is a special passage from the hotel to Yushui Hot Spring, so you don't have to go outside, which also enhances privacy. The Bamboo Sea Scenic Area is only a few hundred meters away. ✅ The front desk staff is very professional. They introduced us to many travel matters. They were very friendly and even took us to our room and gave us fruit. ✅ The room is well equipped with Bluetooth speakers and a small coffee machine. The bedding is also very comfortable and soft. There is also a skylight in the room where you can see the stars! It's really great. ✅ The hotel facilities are also very new, including the facilities of Yushui Hot Spring, which have all been renovated. There are so many hot spring pools that you can't try them all. Each hot spring pool has towels and bath towels. ✅ I had the fish head casserole that I had been thinking about. The soup was rich and delicious. The next day, I went to Nanshan Bamboo Sea with my girlfriend to see the pandas. I was so happy. 💰 CNY 999 includes: 💫 1 night in a Starry Sky Loft Room 💫 Breakfast for 2 adults and 1 child the next day 💫 Nanshan Bamboo Sea tickets for 2 adults and 1 child 💫 Half a honey-roasted chicken at the Chinese restaurant

🏞️ Imagine the comfort of a holiday in the forest. The morning mist is shrouded, the sun shines through the treetops, and the birds sing softly on the branches. The rustling of the leaves in the breeze. Strolling on the forest path, surrounded by various trees, they sway in the breeze, exuding a fresh woody fragrance. From time to time, you can hear the gurgling sound of a distant stream, like a beautiful piece of music gently playing. 🏨 This hotel is located in Liyang, Changzhou, Jiangsu. It is less than a 3-minute walk from the Sen Hotel to the hot spring area. It is a 37-minute drive from Liyang Station, and there are nearby attractions such as Nanshan Bamboo Sea, Jinghu, and Bird Paradise, which can be reached within 25 minutes. The hotel uses "nature", "integration", and "parent-child" as keywords, and embellishes the elements of starry sky, green fields, and secluded bamboo into the hotel design concept. Surrounded by 35,000 acres of bamboo sea, it is located here. The appearance incorporates many natural wood elements, and more modern designs have been made in the windows and outdoor areas. Large floor-to-ceiling windows can be seen everywhere, connecting the accommodation experience with nature, and introducing it into the room through the windows has become part of the hotel design. 🛏️ The room design is fresh and natural, with plain wall and bedding, and large-scale use of light walnut-colored furniture. Through the staggered wooden structure corridor, the bedroom area and the bathroom area are cleverly separated, and under the warm yellow light, it can better present a kind of spatial light and shadow aesthetics. The Wizard of Oz, the starry sky, and the secluded bamboo path, each room is full of creativity and characteristics. Among them, the Starry Sky Parent-child Room has an independent children's area on the second floor, full of fun and creativity. 🍽️ The hotel's food is also very distinctive, based on Liyang's rich natural resources and unique Suzhou-style food culture. The chef digs local ingredients and cooks a series of local dishes. For example, fish head soup, black rice, small garlic cakes, and Malan head are all worth a try! 🏨 Yushui Hot Spring·Sen Hotel 📍No. 888, Lijiayuan Village, Daibu Town, Liyang, Changzhou, Jiangsu
