Manpu Tianmu Yangyan Hot Spring Hotel sits in the Zhenbeibao area of Xixia District, Yinchuan, across from the Zhenbeibao Western Film Studio, on the edge of the Helan Mountains where Ningxia's mineral-rich geothermal water rises naturally. The property is built around a network of indoor and outdoor thermal pools, laid out as a hot spring resort rather than a single-treatment-room spa, with separate pools graded by mineral content and temperature.

Manpu Tianmu Yangyan Hot Spring Hotel sits in the Zhenbeibao area of Xixia District, Yinchuan, across from the Zhenbeibao Western Film Studio, on the edge of the Helan Mountains where Ningxia's mineral-rich geothermal water rises naturally. The property is built around a network of indoor and outdoor thermal pools, laid out as a hot spring resort rather than a single-treatment-room spa, with separate pools graded by mineral content and temperature. Signature offerings are the mineral hot spring soaking pools themselves, drawing on groundwater said locally to carry sulfur and other trace minerals valued in regional bathing traditions found across northern China's hot-spring towns. Alongside the pools, the resort runs sauna and steam rooms for guests who want a dry or wet heat cycle before or after soaking. Facilities extend to overnight accommodation for guests who want a full day-into-evening soak rather than a single session, with locker rooms, changing areas, and rest lounges between pool circuits. Staff overseeing the pools are hotel and spa attendants rather than licensed medical therapists, and the emphasis is on relaxation and bathing culture rather than clinical treatment. Both day access and overnight packages are available; walk-in access is generally possible outside peak weekends, though calling ahead is advisable during Chinese holiday periods when Yinchuan-area hot springs draw crowds from across Ningxia. Visitors typically choose between a basic pool-access ticket and a package that bundles a private pool, robe, and towel service.
