Lushan Xi Hai International Hot Spring Resort

Lushan Xi Hai International Hot Spring Resort is a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.

Lushan Xi Hai International Hot Spring Resort is located in Yijiahe Village, Yongxiu County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China.

The resort enjoys extremely convenient transportation, being only 80 km from Nanchang City, 60 km from Changbei International Airport, and 90 km from downtown Jiujiang. The Beijing-Kowloon Railway, Chang-Jiu Expressway, National Highways 105 and 316, as well as the soon-to-be-built Gongqing to Lixi Expressway all pass through the area.

The resort is situated in Yijiahe Village within the Yunjishan-Zhelinhu Scenic Area — a national-level forest park, national key scenic spot, and provincial geological park. It boasts a superior natural environment, nestled against Yunjishan Mountain and adjacent to Zhelin Lake. Yijiahe Village is also famed as a longevity village. Yunjishan Mountain, perpetually shrouded in mist, has been regarded since ancient times as a celestial paradise, described as “Lotus peaks clustered around the radiant terrace, a single alms bowl leaning open in the center of the mirror. Facing the temple, clouds appear to hold it aloft; by the lake, it seems to rise straight from the sea.” The mountain is home to the renowned Zhenru Temple, a birthplace of the Caodong school of Chan Buddhism. It is one of China’s “three model Buddhist monasteries,” a nationally key open temple, and is celebrated worldwide as “the world’s largest and most orthodox Zen center.” The temple has produced many eminent monks, including the country’s first honorary president of the Buddhist Association, Master Xuyun, and the current president, Master Yicheng. Zhelin Lake features thousands of islands scattered like pearls across vast, crystal-clear waters with visibility reaching up to 11 meters, making it famous throughout China for its stunning scenery. The pristine scenic area contains up to 150,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter, making it a true natural oxygen bar. Yijiahe Village lies amid orange groves and bamboo forests, and is the hometown of Wei Yuan, an important Ming Dynasty official who served as Minister of Justice, Rites, and War. The village enjoys an ideal location, surrounded by mountains and graced with murmuring streams and winding waters. It has long been known as a longevity village. Master Xuyun of Zhenru Temple passed away at the age of 120, and among the living villagers, there are over 60 centenarians aged 80 and above. Abundant sunshine, fresh air, and magical hot springs may well be the secrets to the health and longevity of the people here.

Features & Highlights

When the unique advantages of both natural and cultural resources began to reveal themselves, Hong Kong Heng Tourism Development Co., Ltd. invested a massive 600 million yuan in this picturesque, spiritually uplifting destination to create a large-scale hot spring resort that integrates hot spring bathing centers, five-star hotels, luxury villas, and refined apartments. Themed around “leading hot spring fashion, creating a wellness community, and innovating lifestyle models,” this is the largest, highest-grade, most diverse, and most charming hot spring resort in Jiangxi Province — Lushan Xi Hai International Hot Spring Resort.

The hot spring well water has a temperature of 70°C, with a daily extractable volume of about 4,000 cubic meters, releasing 243.5 kcal of heat per hour. It has a pH value of 9.7–9.9 and a mineralization degree of 0.19–0.31 grams per liter, classifying it as low-mineralization sodium bicarbonate water. According to experts from the Provincial Geological and Mineral Bureau, the hot spring contains five physicochemical components that meet national medical standards, four of which — fluorine, metasilicic acid, hydrogen sulfide, and radon — are present in the resort’s hot spring, a rare combination. With the highest pH value in the province, the bathing experience offers unparalleled smoothness and cleansing properties, rivaling the Guifei Spring in Lintong.

To rationally develop this exceptional natural asset and prevent cutthroat competition, Xi Hai Hot Spring Resort exclusively secured the rights to the hot spring’s extraction. The resort has designed and built a variety of therapeutic and sports-oriented hot spring parks, including a Thai-style Royal Spa inspired by the ambiance of a Thai palace, the mysterious Tai Chi Eight Trigrams area, the colorful Xi Hai Jade Pool, the minimalist and refined East Asian Retreat, the European-style Bath of Bath, the Herbal King Cave infused with precious Chinese medicinal herbs, the fun-filled Nude Bathing Area, and an Aquatic Adventure Park. These facilities fully cater to the needs of those seeking various hot spring culture experiences — from Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Roman, to Finnish styles — taking the Xi Hai hot spring wellness bathing tradition that dates back to the Tang Dynasty to its ultimate refinement.

The iconic structure of Xi Hai Hot Spring Resort is a five-star standard hotel, featuring over 600 guest rooms including presidential suites, honeymoon suites, luxury executive suites, luxury family suites, villas, and apartment-style hotels. Particularly noteworthy is that every room is supplied with hot spring water, allowing guests to not only enjoy therapeutic and recreational activities in a variety of wellness-focused hot spring pools but also to relax in the privacy of their own rooms with the soothing pleasure of hot spring water.
