Tianmu Yushui Hot Spring

Tianmu Yushui Hot Spring is a hot spring complex in the Tianmu Lake area of Liyang, part of Changzhou, Jiangsu province, China. Tianmu Lake is a well-known reservoir and resort district in the hills of southern Jiangsu, and the hot spring is a popular weekend or day-trip destination for visitors from Nanjing and Shanghai. The setting is lakeside hills, which gives the complex a more rural, scenic feel than the urban spas of the big cities.

The core offering is a series of hot spring pools, with massage available as an additional treatment. Hot spring bathing is a long-established leisure habit across China, and a typical visit involves moving between pools of different temperatures, resting between soaks and finishing with a massage. Specific pool themes, treatment menus, therapist qualifications and any accommodation on site are not confirmed here, so visitors should check the current offering before travelling.

A visit is normally a half-day soak. Listed prices run from about CNY 120 to CNY 400, making it one of the more affordable options among the hot springs in the province, with massage and any extras priced separately. The Tianmu Lake area also offers scenery and outdoor activities, so many visitors combine a lakeside walk or drive in the morning with a soak in the afternoon.

Booking norms follow common practice in mainland China. Walk-in entry is usually possible on weekdays, while weekends, national holidays and the cooler months are busier, when a reservation by phone or a Chinese travel app is advisable. Swimwear is required in the pools, and swim caps are often compulsory or sold at the entrance. The complex is listed as open daily, and current hours should be confirmed before visiting. Because Liyang is outside the main cities, travel time from Nanjing or Shanghai should be planned in advance, usually by road or high-speed rail with a local transfer.
