Senbola Volcano Hot Springs

Senbola Volcano Hot Springs

Built upon the ancient volcanic ruins of Yangjiao Mountain, Senbola Volcano Hot Springs recreates the spectacle of an active volcano eruption. It is Guangdong’s first hot spring destination themed around volcanic wonders and is hailed as the pioneer of China’s “fifth-generation themed hot springs.”

Located in Fogang County, Qingyuan City — known as China’s Hot Spring Town — Senbola Volcano Hot Springs sits adjacent to the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and National Highway 106, just a 50-minute drive from Guangzhou. It is a key component of the Yangjiao Mountain Forest Resort’s ambitious development into a one-stop leisure and vacation destination, following the success of Senbola Wonderland (a theme park) and Senbola Hotel (a themed hotel). Nestled against the mountains, the hot springs span over 120 acres and feature more than 70 distinctive pools across dynamic, bamboo forest, and fragrant flower zones, all artfully arranged to offer sweeping views of thousands of acres of lush greenery, clear waters, and pastoral scenery.

Here, a tunnel carved from volcanic rocks will transport you into a mystical volcanic wonderland. A towering 88-meter replica volcano dramatically erupts night after night with awe-inspiring visuals and sound, delivering a thrilling sensory experience. The hot spring pools, built from stacked volcanic stones, offer the unique sensation of soaking in thermal waters right next to an active volcano. With its mysterious ancient cultural heritage and a wealth of extraordinary sensory experiences, Senbola Volcano Hot Springs is set to usher in a brand-new era for Guangdong’s hot spring industry.

[Volcano Eruption]

Legend has it that about 800,000 years ago, a violent volcanic eruption occurred on Yangjiao Mountain, spewing ash that blanketed the sky and plunging the area into darkness, accompanied by fierce winds and torrential rains. Mud rain plagued local residents for months. Though millennia have passed since this catastrophe, the newly constructed 88-meter replica volcano on the ancient site recreates the spectacular eruption nightly. Towering flames, earth-shaking tremors, and a safe vantage point in the warm pools allow you to witness this thrilling yet harmless natural drama.

Bamboo Forest Theme Zone: Facing the Senbola Hotel from afar, this zone boasts over 18 bamboo-themed pools surrounded by rare bamboo species such as mottled bamboo, Xiang bamboo, purple bamboo, monk bamboo, square bamboo, and yellow bamboo, creating a veritable kingdom of bamboo.
