Attraction Overview

It features naturally surfacing soda 'Beauty Spa' hot springs at 58°C with a daily output of 5,000 m³—a rare worldwide hot spring type with gentle, nourishing water.

How to Enjoy: Three Recommended Ways
Banyueshan offers diverse experiences for different travelers. Here are the three top ways recommended by our concierge to help you find your perfect route.
Beauty Spa Soda Hot Spring
Banyueshan's springs are naturally surfacing soda springs at 58°C with a daily output of 5,000 m³—a rare worldwide type. Rich in beneficial minerals and trace elements, the water is gentle and moisturizing, leaving skin silky smooth, hence the name 'Beauty Spa'.
Forest Hot Spring Park
Built into the hillside, the park has dozens of themed pools scattered among dense forest—herbal baths, flower pools, fish therapy, and children's pools, each with a different view and experience. The hilltop infinity pool offers superb vistas.
Horseback Riding & Resort Experience
Beyond hot springs, the resort has an equestrian club for horseback riding. The five-star-standard resort hotel is an option for an overnight stay but at a higher price. We recommend Cuixi Villa instead—soak by day, return to your villa's private spa and KTV by night.
How to Get There from Cuixi Villa
From the villa, take Xingtai East Road to the Xiarong Expressway (Changtai Tianzhushan entrance) toward Xiamen, then the Xiamen Ring Expressway (Tongan direction), exit at Fangyang, and drive 2 km. Total ~35 km, ~40 min. The scenic area has a large parking lot.
💡 Concierge Tip:Holiday traffic around the scenic area may be heavy; depart 30 minutes early. If unsure about the route, contact our concierge anytime.
Why Staying at Cuixi Villa Is Better
📍 Distance: Closer & More Convenient
Only ~35 km (40 min) from the villa to Banyueshan—over 40 minutes saved versus departing from downtown Xiamen. Tired after playing? Just head back to the villa, no long commute.
💰 Value: Whole-Villa Rental Beats Resort Hotels
Banyueshan resort hotel standard rooms peak at ~¥800-1500/night with only public hot springs. Cuixi Villa's 7-room whole villa sleeps 22, from only ¥300+/person, with private pool, mountain-spring spa, KTV, and BBQ—a full set of amenities. Book the whole villa for a group and get everything in one place; the value beats hotels and B&Bs near the park.
🏡 Facilities: Attractions by Day, Villa by Night
Soak at Banyueshan by day, return to Cuixi Villa by night for private pool, mountain-spring spa, KTV, courtyard BBQ, and a 300-inch outdoor movie. A big family or a group of friends can play freely, without the constraints of hotel opening hours.
