Shengquan Hot Spring Hotel  

On the edge of Nanjing in Tangshan town, a hot-spring hideaway just steps from Zhongshan Gate. About 27 km from the city center and close to the Huning and Ninghang expressways, it’s easy to reach by car.

This is a hot spring hotel built around natural outdoor pools — expect volcanic mud baths, medicinal-herb soaking pools and a dramatic waterfall pool. Rooms vary by category but commonly include a TV and slippers. The property blends spa-focused facilities with simple, steam-soaked comfort.

Stand-out features are the variety of natural hot-spring pools, a sauna and a menu of massages. On-site parking and an elevator make arrivals easy. Wake up to steam-kissed mornings and soak in volcanic mud or herb baths.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a local specialty: eggs cooked in the hot springs. Simple, warm flavors that lean into the region’s hot-spring tradition.
