Reviews:

I went there on Friday for the afternoon and had a wonderful time. Though not on par with Japanese onsen, it was relaxing and enjoyable. The pools range from small to large, cold to scorching. They are set out in a manner, with much vegetation, that makes each pool seem secluded from the other. Pick from medicinal, tea, or flower scented pools, or just try the lot. The upper floor has every imaginable type of water massage, including vichy showers. Outside has about 10 pools that are also smallish and secluded. The heated marble kangs with complimentary cucumber for the face also not to be missed. The staff don't speak much English, but are helpful and discreet. Currently 158RMB/person (valid for 24hours) incl. sauna, steam room, hot springs, swimming pool, tv/sofa/relaxation room, drinks (no alcohol) and fruit (and maybe other stuff I didn't get to try). Massage,facial etc also available for a fee. Catch the 919, or 345 from Deshengmen.
