Top Three Attractions

Beauty Pool

Beauty Pool, also known as Xianren Bath, is located on the left side of the Rehai Bath River, with a water temperature of 45℃ and a flow rate of 3.2L/S. The pool is crystal clear, with the pool against the rock wall, the rock wall is picturesque. It is full of mysterious colors. The hot water mainly comes from Pearl Spring, Guwu Spring, Glasses Spring, and Womb Well. The springs flow down from the rock to form large and small hot waterfalls. In addition to the hot springs in the pool, it is truly beautiful.

There are hundreds of vents in the meantime, forming water pits. The boiling water gushes out from the bottom of the pit.

Guwu Spring

Guwu Spring is located on the right bank of the Rehai Bath, with an altitude of 1460 meters, a water temperature of 94.8℃, and an alkaline water quality. It is boiling and powerful because a huge stone blocks the steam, and the boiling water is exposed, making a rumbling sound, so it is called Guwu Spring.

Travel Guide

For most people, Tengchong’s most attractive tourist attractions and hot spring areas are mainly located in the Rehai Scenic Area. The Rehai Scenic Area itself is also a geothermal area. The hot spring facilities inside the Rehai area are relatively complete and high-end, but the price is not cheap. Tourists who find it expensive can consider the nearby Hehua Township and other townships. These townships are scattered with various small hot springs, but these hot springs are mostly private and cost about tens of yuan per person. The disadvantage is that the environment and facilities of these pools are relatively simple, so locals or self-driving tourists from the province choose these township hot springs more.

Even in the Rehai Scenic Area, there are hot springs with different levels and styles. You can choose the Japanese-style “Three Steaming and Eighteen Soaking” open-air hot spring, because it has eighteen soaking pools and three steam rooms, suitable for high-end enjoyment. Rehai Scenic Area also has hot spring swimming pools, the facilities are more popular, and the price is cheaper than Japanese-style hot spring pools; if you want some privacy, you can find those small soaking pools near the water outlet, the water quality and environment are better than swimming pools. The most famous attraction in Rehai Scenic Area is called the Big Boiling Pot, which boils and boils day and night, and the hot steam rises in all seasons. The hot spring water of the Big Boiling Pot has a boiling point of about 100℃, and there are also soaking pools with steam rooms near the Big Boiling Pot. These soaking pools are mainly suitable for two to three people and can be rented with a room for direct soaking in the room.

Unique Soaking Experience in Rehai Hot Spring

Because the hot springs here are surrounded by mountains, you can enjoy the natural scenery of the mountains when you lie in the soaking pool. This kind of vision is rare in hot spring scenic spots in China. The key is that these natural landscapes are not like other hot spring scenic spots, most of which are artificial landscapes or artificial buildings.

The most special experience is when you wake up in the morning, you can clearly see the clouds in the Rehai hot spring, making you mistakenly think that you are intoxicated in a kind of fairyland. It turns out that all the hot steam from the hot springs has evaporated, and the mist has stayed on the hillside. In addition, when the plantains are ripe, you can soak in the hot springs and climb to the side of the hot spring pool to pick plantains and eat them. This hot spring experience is also very fun.
