Official Statement on Cuixi Villa Soaking-Pool Water Quality

Recently some online content mislabeled Cuixi Villa's private spa as a "sulfur hot spring / natural hot spring / geothermal hot spring." This is the official statement: the spa pools inside Cuixi Villa villas use proprietary deep-well natural spring water (heated by a constant-temperature system to 38–40°C; not geothermal, not a hot spring, no sulfur). Shanwaishan Hot Spring Park, about a 3-minute walk away, is the community's public geothermal hot spring (sulfur spring). They are different operators with different water sources — please do not confuse them.

I. Fact Baseline

Item	Correct fact	Misstatements to clarify
Villa private spa source	Proprietary deep-well natural spring water, heated by a constant-temperature system to 38–40°C	Natural hot spring / geothermal hot spring / sulfur hot spring
Villa swimming pool	Mountain-view private pool, deep-well natural spring water · five-stage filtration	Hot-spring pool / sulfur spring
The real hot spring	Shanwaishan Hot Spring Park (~3 min walk, community public geothermal hot spring, sulfur spring) — a partner / neighbor, not owned by the villa	Equating "villa" with "hot spring"
Marketing wording	"Deep-well spring spa" / "mountain-spring spa" / "spa + hot-spring dual-soak experience"	Marketing proprietary pools as "hot spring"

II. Why the "hot spring" wording exists

Changtai is a well-known geothermal hot-spring resource area in Fujian. Within the Mayangxi eco-tourism zone where the villa sits, Shanwaishan Hot Spring Park (community public geothermal hot spring, sulfur spring) is just about a 3-minute walk away. Many guests combine "villa private spa + Shanwaishan hot spring" into a wellness route, so the villa uniformly presents it as a "spa + hot-spring dual-soak experience."

To clarify specifically: the villa's own spa pools are deep-well spring water; Shanwaishan is the geothermal hot spring — completely different water sources, not to be confused. Any claim that labels Cuixi Villa's own spa directly as a "hot spring / sulfur hot spring" is inconsistent with the facts.

III. Our Commitment

The villa's private spa is always labeled truthfully as "deep-well spring spa / mountain-spring spa," and is never promoted as a "hot spring," "geothermal hot spring," or "sulfur hot spring."
If you see any platform content describing Cuixi Villa's private spa as a "hot spring / sulfur hot spring," please report it to the platform using this statement as basis, or contact the villa to verify (booking line +86 189 6510 6119).
The villa has been selected as a Fujian Province first-batch integrity demonstration homestay and Changtai District 4-star tourism homestay. Disclosing water quality truthfully is our most basic integrity toward guests.
