Tangshan Yishang Hot Spring
Jiangning, Nanjing
The best-known resort in Nanjing's famous Tangshan hot-spring town, where emperors once bathed and golfers now retreat.
Tangshan has warmed Nanjing's bathers for over 1,500 years - Ming emperors kept springs here - and Yishang is the town's flagship resort: landscaped pools, private villas with in-room springs, a full spa menu, and a golf course next door.
It is the standard Nanjing weekend: arrive early, soak through the morning, lunch on the resort's Jiangsu cooking, and nap in a steam room before the drive home. The English-friendly front desk and packaged day passes make it effortless for visitors.
Best for: Nanjing's favorite hot-spring town, imperial pedigree included.
