The most eye-catching feature upon entering Oriental Spring City is the swimming pool-like hot spring pool. The spacious ‘pool’ also houses several treadmills and stationary bikes, facing the spherical screen of Oriental Spring City. Running in hot spring water is an experience unlike any other. Besides its pool functions, this giant hot spring pool also artificially creates waves at certain times, combining the effects of hot spring health benefits and water play.

The 76-Degree Gold Soup

The most famous feature of Oriental Spring City is its 76-degree gold soup, a natural golden hot spring originating from Xiaoyangkou geothermal energy. It uses 76-degree芒硝泉 and is certified by international hot spring water quality organizations as a therapeutic hot spring, with excellent effects on skin and rehabilitation. The hot spring is also known as the gold soup due to its golden hue. Most surprisingly, the hot spring water arrives in Shanghai daily via an insulated special vehicle, ensuring VIP treatment.

Daily Renewal of Hot Spring Water

Every day before dawn, the hot spring water of Huangjintang is transported from Xiaoyangkou, Rudong, Nantong, Jiangsu Province to Shanghai by insulated water tank trucks and renewed daily. This is enough to show that Oriental Spring Capital has strict control over the hot spring water and is responsible for every tourist.

Variety of Hot Spring Pools

In addition to Huangjintang, Oriental Spring Capital also has 13 open-air functional hot spring pools such as the beauty-enhancing red wine pool, rose pool, fatigue-relieving mugwort leaf pool, and refreshing coffee pool. In an outside temperature of three or four degrees Celsius, soaking in a hot spring of dozens of degrees really gives people the feeling of soaking in a hot spring in nature. Various amusement facilities for children turn the hot spring pool into a water park. At night, the hot spring pool is lit up with star lights, making the open-air hot spring pool even more dreamy.

Cultural and International Appeal

In the hot spring pool, not only can you hear a lot of familiar Shanghai dialects, but also see many foreign friends coming here to soak in the hot spring. It seems that this Oriental Spring Capital is also an excellent leisure place in the hearts of many foreigners living in Shanghai.
