Senya Onsen Resort Guide

Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai Hot Spring Guide is here, soak away your winter worries (Shanghai edition)|||1. Shanghai Million Stone Hot Spring Hotel; The hotel took three years to build and is very close to the Disney Park. Walking inside the hotel, everywhere you look, there are dry landscape gardens, pine trees, lanterns, ema plaques, and winding paths, with countless photo spots. The hot springs here are only open to guests, outsiders cannot enter, ensuring privacy. The hot spring pavilion is made of cypress wood, and the air is filled with the fragrance of cypress. There are both indoor and outdoor pools. The water in the pools is transported from the ancient town of Shaxi in Taicang — "Silver Spring" natural hot spring water. Rich in "metasilicic acid," this "fluoride hot spring" compensates for Shanghai’s lack of "real" hot springs. 2. Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel; Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel covers nearly 1.67 million square meters and is the only natural island resort hotel in Shanghai, making it a great weekend getaway near the city. Sun Island Resort is an all-around resort, with many activities besides accommodation being one of its highlights. The forest hot springs are a must-visit, featuring 8 large outdoor pools and 5 special energy rooms, offering an essential wellness experience in winter. Facilities include the Sacred Tree Pool, Ancient Method Pool, Senya Infinity Pool, Lake View Aroma Pool, Forest Original Hot Spring Pool, Massage Bubble Pool, Forest Waterfall Pool, and Silk Bath Pool. You can soak in the hot springs while enjoying the scenery and breathing air rich in negative ions. 3. Shanghai Yusu He Ting Hotel; Located on Meichuan Road, it’s just a half-hour drive from downtown. The hotel is very low-key and, despite being close to the subway business district, remains little known. The founder lived in Japan for over a decade and brought back Japanese hot springs, cuisine, service, and traditional arts and culture to Shanghai. The hotel covers more than 3,000 square meters but has only 34 rooms, each with a private hot spring. The pools, built from volcanic rock, are the hotel’s biggest feature. The sunken design replicates the essence of Japanese private hot spring hotels. The water used for soaking is softened and, after adding bath agents, becomes smooth and emits a faint fragrance. 4. Shanghai Yeshan Garden Hotel; The hotel’s name is inspired by Tao Yuanming’s "Returning to the Countryside." This purely Japanese-style hotel is located next to Dongping Forest Park Scenic Area. All rooms have private hot spring pools, perfect for soaking in the cold weather while enjoying the view. Shanghai Sun Island Resort Hotel
