It's just a large cave, not much different from many other caves. It became famous because of its "geomagnetic health benefits" gimmick. It attracts mostly elderly people. If you're just looking for pure sightseeing, the reviews are so-so.

This cave is quite famous, and it's said that the Earth's magnetic field can cure diseases, which attracts many tourists. Actually, you only visit two caves. The second cave is quite ordinary and requires climbing up and down ladders inside. The highlight is the first cave, where you can sit down, have tea with your parents, and experience the Earth's magnetic field.

The location is remote; you have to cross several mountains to reach the Crystal Palace. Parking lot number 4 is closest to the entrance. The Crystal Palace is entirely white and very beautiful. It's about a 1.5-kilometer walk and well worth a visit.

Bama is the hometown of longevity. Every child hopes that their parents will be healthy and live long. I came to Bama, bringing my dear mother with me. After coming to Bama Renshouyuan, I deeply realized that filial piety and gratitude are the best way to make parents happy and healthy. Virtue and family tradition are passed on, and children are filial and virtuous. The bonfire party needs to be richer, and the quality of dinner needs to be improved. I wish Renshouyuan will be better and better.

It was really great. I felt so relaxed after soaking in the hot spring. The environment was wonderful, and it was so comfortable to soak in the hot spring with the natural breeze blowing. The staff were also very welcoming. I especially want to commend Ms. Xiao Wan, who was very helpful in explaining the benefits of each hot spring and reminding us how long to soak. Thank you so much!

This is a good place to slowly regulate your body with oxygen ions, weak alkaline water, and strong geomagnetism. Wandering among the mountains and rivers every day, listening to the birds singing on the branches, smelling the fragrance of flowers, and hearing the crowing of chickens in the early morning, you can feel the Nanshan Mountain leisurely. The life of a free and easy person is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland!
