Travel has always been a timeless topic of interest. Across domestic forums and websites, travel-related content consistently garners high attention. For example, stories like a post-95s girl traveling across the country while scrolling through social media or Alibaba announcing the launch of “Qu Nihao” often quickly become hot topics of discussion. Now, with the approach of the Winter Solstice, travel packages and routes related to hot springs are attracting increasing attention. So, how can you enjoy a comfortable, relaxing, and rejuvenating hot spring trip? Let’s take an exclusive look at the ultimate guide to economical yet premium travel experiences, curated for you by our editors.
A Luxurious Yet Low-Key Getaway — Zhanjiang Blue Moon Bay Hot Springs
If you’re someone who values high living standards, craves luxury and comfort, yet prefers to keep things low-key, then Blue Moon Bay Hot Springs in Zhanjiang is definitely your kind of place. It is one of the rare hot spring resorts in China located right in the heart of the city, built on volcanic geothermal springs. The hot spring area is designed as a trendy leisure zone with a tropical, boutique vibe, making it an ideal spot for urban elites to unwind and enjoy a blissful escape.


If you’re drawn to exotic landscapes and the charm of Southeast Asian culture, then the Sangkhamphueng Hot Spring Park in Chiang Mai is an excellent choice. This hot spring village is located about 34 kilometers east of Chiang Mai. It features hot springs that can shoot water more than 10 meters high, as well as pools where you can boil eggs. There are also numerous hot spring swimming pools and bathhouses of various sizes. Sangkhamphueng Hot Spring Park is quite famous locally in Thailand, and many Thai families visit here together to soak in the springs and enjoy laughter-filled moments.
When it comes to accommodation, you’ll want something both economical and stylish. 7 Days Sunshine, an unconventional budget hotel with a “fun, fashionable vibe,” is a great option. Designed specifically for young people, it offers a private space that’s trendy and dynamic. With its lively spatial layout, highly interactive WeChat features, exclusive one-touch phone service, custom oversized lidded tea cups, extra-thick floor slippers, and super-sized overhead tropical rain showers, it provides a comfortable sleeping environment while letting you experience fast fashion trends and the quality of a slower-paced life.
Of course, besides the hot spring destinations introduced here, there are plenty of other breathtaking hot spring spots worth visiting both in China and abroad. But no matter where you go, you won’t have to worry — 7 Days has spread its “wide net” across the nation and even internationally, creating an affordable and comfortable accommodation network under the 7 Days brand. Additionally, we’ve learned that with the opening of the 2000th 7 Days hotel, the brand has launched a timeless “promotion”: new 7 Days members can enjoy the exclusive privilege of checking in for just 77 RMB. That means no matter where you go or which hot spring destination you choose for your relaxing getaway, if there’s a newly opened 7 Days nearby, you can have your own stylish private space for less than 100 RMB. What are you waiting for? Go on a spontaneous trip — GO!
