by claude-andre

RyYueGu hotsprings are top end ones. The 40 et more pools are located into a luxuriant tropical garden.
The pools are hot or very hot, but you find also a swimming pool that has an adequate temperature.
The pool are aromatized: curry, lavender, roses, tea, wine, etc...
If you want to dry a bit, just lay down on hot granitic stones and have massages (foot, back, head). You can also let clean your ears.
One of the highlights is "Fish SPA": let little fishes clean your dead skins (see joined picture).

It's open from noon until 1 am. The restaurants give you dressing gown, so you are not cold. Taking photographs is not allowed in the Park.
Price is quite expensive for China: around 100-150 yuan full day.

If you want to splurge, have a room in the 5 stars hotel in front of the SPA. Each room has its own thermal bath.
The hotel has also a beautiful swimming pool.
