Anji Hot Spring Resort

Anji Hot Spring Resort sits in the bamboo-forested hills of Anji County, Huzhou, Zhejiang, an area long known for its dense bamboo groves and, more recently, as a rural wellness escape roughly two hours from both Hangzhou and Shanghai. The resort's outdoor mineral hot-spring pools are terraced into the hillside among bamboo stands, drawing on naturally occurring thermal mineral water sourced locally in the Tianhuangping area. Signature offerings include a herbal foot soak using regional Chinese medicinal herbs, Tui Na massage performed by therapists trained in traditional Chinese bodywork, and a bamboo-scented steam room that plays on the county's identity as a bamboo-growing region. The resort format combines day-access bathing with a treatment menu, so most therapists split time between pool supervision and private treatment rooms. Facilities include multiple outdoor mineral pools of varying temperature, indoor changing areas, a steam room, and food and rest areas for day visitors; some overnight accommodation is available on site for guests wanting to combine a spa day with a longer stay in the bamboo hills. Day access is sold at the entrance and treatments can usually be added on arrival, though weekend and holiday visits are busier and benefit from calling ahead.
