Travel Tips

Since the property only speaks Chinese, it’s best to book in advance through major international travel platforms, which can handle any communication needs for foreign visitors. While private parking is free, the entrance is on a small residential lane, so take it slow when driving in. If you don’t have a car, the resort is a 15-minute walk from Jiaoxi Train Station, and local scooter rentals are available nearby for exploring the area. Don’t forget to pack your swimsuit for your private hot spring soak, and leave time in your itinerary to try Jiaoxi’s famous green onion cakes and beef soup on nearby main street.
