Accommodation and dining recommendations

The hotel was clean and tidy, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, the bedding was soft, and the soundproofing was good. The front desk service was warm and attentive, check-in was quick, and the hotel was great value for money. I would definitely choose this hotel again for my next trip! The scenery was beautiful and the environment was lovely. I was very satisfied with the photos taken by Yiqi Travel Photography, which came with the complimentary service.
Aunt Zhang Liuji is incredibly kind and helpful. Today, the wind was extremely strong on the mountain, and she proactively cared for the children, even giving them a free bathrobe. The hot springs open at 1 PM on weekday afternoons, and it wasn't crowded; you could practically have every pool to yourself. The pools at the top of the mountain offer the best and most expansive views.
I've been here for over a decade and it's been fantastic! So, I brought my family back. Dozens of hot springs are nestled into the hillside, including an infinity pool that blends seamlessly with the blue sky. Several bathing pools offer sweeping views of Tianmu Lake, a verdant landscape. Each has its own unique style, including milk baths, red wine baths, fish baths, nine traditional Chinese medicine baths, and a slate hot spring bed. The water temperature is generally around 40 degrees Celsius, a comfortable and pleasant ambiance. Choose your favorite bath based on your preferences and physical condition.
It was really great. I thought the hot springs were great and the scenery was beautiful ♨️ I didn't expect the massage was great too. The massages by technicians No. 27 and No. 11 were very scientific 🙎♀️ The strength was great. I will look for them next time! I'm hungry now. Let's go see how the restaurant is 🍜 I hope it will be even better. A perfect weekend~🎈
Come to soak in the hot springs on a rainy day. Few people, beautiful scenery, clean, and good environment. The 299 package also includes afternoon tea at Genting. Very cost-effective. The staff is very enthusiastic and proactive in service, especially Aunt Zhang Liuji, who kept serving us tea and water, and also gave us floating tea, which was worth the trip.
I come to Tianmu Lake every year. This is my first time staying at Hantian Resort. I feel like I'm living in the mountains. The scenery is beautiful and the environment is great, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in the summer. I soaked in the hot springs and had a SPA in the afternoon. The technician No. 11 was very skilled! I will choose Hantian next time.
