The Xilongwan Hot Spring in the "World Dinosaur Valley" is a paradise for "dinosaurs" to survive. It is a paradise specially designed for family outings. The name comes from the habitat of dinosaurs in the cultural and creative story. The text describes this place as a hot spring swamp where dinosaurs often gather to heal or lay eggs. The hot spring is divided into three areas: Zhilongquan, Jianlongquan, and Yuelongquan. It integrates warm-up, beauty and health care, and nectar bathing. It has ingeniously gathered 38 outdoor health pools and 6 sets of boutique soup houses, which are drawn from the 2,850-meter-deep sulfur spring underground, with an outlet water temperature of 52°C. The 12 original soup pools in Zhilongquan are directly named after dinosaurs, as if stepping into a wonderful enchantment; the 26 nectar baths, beauty, and fish therapy pools in Jianlongquan are directly named after the medicines, returning to the original nature and enjoying the beauty of natural health care; the milk pool and rose pool in Yuelongquan make the air sweet and add some texture to the warmth.Lufeng · 19.4 km from downtown

It's incredibly impressive. It's the first time I've seen so many fossil specimens, all so well-preserved. Even though only a portion has been unearthed, it's still breathtaking and amazing. It's clear this canyon was once the habitat of the Lufengosaurus. Imagine this place, lush with grass and abundant water, where a large herd lived leisurely, only to be struck by a cataclysmic disaster the next second, wiping out thousands of lives in an instant.

Heijing Ancient Town, located northwest of Lufeng City, Yunnan Province, is a National Historic and Cultural Town and a 4A-rated tourist attraction. Its prosperity stemmed from its salt production, earning it the nickname "Millennium Salt Capital." Key attractions include the Wu Family Courtyard, the Dalong Temple and Confucian Temple, Wuma Bridge, and Ming and Qing Dynasty residential complexes. The town's specialty, braised chicken with salt, is renowned.

It was a complete surprise; the content was incredibly impressive. I thought it was a place for older people to wander around aimlessly, but it turns out to be the place with the largest collection of dinosaur fossils in China, and even internationally. The area inside is enormous. Overall, I think this place offers excellent value for money and is definitely worth a visit.

It was so much fun! The cave hot springs were unique, and there were also paddleboards and slides that the kids loved. The buffet package at 19.9 per person was a great deal, definitely worth bringing the kids!

The hotel has a great environment, convenient transportation, and clean and tidy rooms. There was also a welcome fruit upon check-in, and the front desk service was good. However, there were not many hot spring pools open, probably because it wasn't the weekend.

A fantastic experience, well worth the long journey! It was the first time I'd ever seen so many dinosaur fossils, lined up in rows, seemingly depicting a scene from over 160 million years ago – absolutely breathtaking! I also learned a lot of new things. Highly recommended!

What surprised me most about this restaurant is the service. Although I encountered some minor problems, the staff kept apologizing and helping to solve them. They really put customers first. I am a regular customer of theirs. Because the price-performance ratio is very high, there are new surprises every time I come. Overall, it is very suitable for dining with friends. The environment is very suitable for chatting. The price-performance ratio is quite high ⬆️The meal is very satisfying, the ingredients are very fresh, you can eat it with confidence, and the signature dishes are all recommended!
