Duration: 1 day Time: January Average cost per person: 118 yuan Company: Friends Activities: Gourmet food, free travel, weekend getaway Author visited these places: Shanghai Langqiao Bridge Published on 2020-01-19 01:33 For the north, even in the season where water freezes upon contact with the air, there is still the comfort of heating to get through the winter. Southerners, however, are not so fortunate, with each winter day being an indescribable and very difficult time. During this ‘special period,’ whenever there is time, everyone will consider which hot spring to visit to alleviate the winter crisis. Shanghai has also welcomed a top choice for soaking in genuine hot spring water – Oriental Spring City, which also has a name that matches the magic city, ‘Red Pavilion’. The ‘Red Pavilion’ of Oriental Spring City covers an area of over 15,000 square meters and is a ‘versatile’ hot spring hall that integrates health therapy, hot spring health preservation, children’s entertainment, and leisure vacation. Compared to some hot spring halls visited in the past, its biggest feature is the daily introduction of natural genuine hot spring water from Nantong Xiaoyangkou, thus it has also been awarded the title of ‘East China Golden Therapy Soup’ by the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Avoid soaking for a long time, and avoid soaking in hot springs when hungry, after eating, or after drinking. In order to better experience this unique genuine hot spring hall in Shanghai, I came to the store early on the weekend. Unexpectedly, although the venue officially opened at 10 o’clock, there were already many people who came to line up for admission, and it seems that everyone’s expectations for genuine hot spring water soaking are still very high.
After entering through the entrance and getting a wristband, you can store your shoes in the self-service area and enter. As usual, men and women enter separately. It should be noted that since there are professional outdoor hot spring pools and swimming pools here, if you want to experience them, it is best to prepare swimsuits and swimming caps in advance. Otherwise, you cannot enter the public area hot spring pools (including the ace pool ‘Golden Soup’). Indoor area: Entering almost in the top three can allow you to see the entire hot spring hall more carefully. Of course, if you come late, don’t take pictures here because it is difficult to avoid other guests who come to soak in the hot spring. Seeing the free weighing machine, you can’t help but want to experience it. Unexpectedly, it is actually quite a routine. You need to scan the QR code to get detailed information. Well, regarding personal privacy, this part will be omitted. The toiletries are relatively all branded products, which is more reassuring. The back rubbing service may be one of the main purposes for most male customers to soak in the hot spring. In addition, going to a bathhouse once before the Spring Festival is also a traditional custom for many people. It is estimated that about eight people can have the service at the same time. If you want to relax and have an assisted bath, it is still relatively spacious. Since Red Hall mainly features outdoor hot spring soaking, relatively speaking, the indoor hot spring pools are not very rich. There is a traditional hot spring pool and a massage pool for everyone to transit. However, according to my observation, there are actually not many customers staying here. Most people directly go outdoors to experience. This area may be more suitable for customers who did not prepare swimsuits. So even if you didn’t bring a swimsuit, you don’t have to worry too much about having no items to experience. Two independent sauna rooms can be considered a shortcut to rapid weight loss. Every time you soak in the hot spring and sit inside for about 20 minutes, you can lose at least 3 catties of water. Of course, in fact, only water is lost. At this time, people usually choose to supplement a large amount of food. As a result… So if you really want to lose weight, it seems that soaking in hot springs may not be a perfect solution. The blue curtain friendly reminder: If you didn’t wear a swimsuit, then you can stop here because the next part is about to reach the core area of Red Hall, the outdoor hot spring pool. In fact, before reaching the entrance to the outdoor area on the second floor, there is also a transitional area. Here is a professional children’s hot spring pool. It feels more like an indoor children’s swimming pool. If there is bad weather, parents who bring their children don’t have to worry about coming in vain. Children can still have a great time here. Outdoor hot spring soaking: When you reach the outdoor hot spring soaking area on the second floor, it is truly an eye-opener. There are nearly twenty characteristic theme spring pools arranged in order, which can meet the needs of people of different ages and constitutions.
As the saying goes, ‘Every three steps there is a hot spring pool, and every five steps there is another one.’ Every step is a scene, and every place is wonderful. The closest to the entrance is the main gold hot spring pool of Red Pavilion. The hot spring water from Xiaoyangkou itself reaches 76 degrees Celsius. The mirabilite spring contains more than 20 elements and minerals beneficial to the human body such as sodium, calcium, and chlorine. It is extremely precious and has good effects on skin diseases, gynecological diseases, bone and joint diseases, and postoperative rehabilitation. Due to the chemical reaction after contact with air, it turns golden and is also known as ‘golden soup’. How can you miss such a special hot spring experience? In addition to the golden soup, there are also more than ten open-air hot spring pools with different functions such as the beauty-enhancing red wine pool, rose pool, wormwood pool for relieving fatigue, and coffee pool for refreshing. The advantage of arriving early at the scene is also obvious. You can enjoy all the pools. At the bottom, there is a dedicated water park area for children and an outdoor swimming pool of more than 300 square meters. The water treadmill and underwater bicycle are also something I have never seen in so many hot spring pools. Sure enough, Red Pavilion has its own unique insights into fitness, physiotherapy, and hot spring bathing. There is only one independent semi-indoor pool in the entire outdoor hot spring area, named ‘Secret Realm’. As the name suggests, it is of course very suitable for, well, you know. In addition to playing the promotional video of Red Pavilion, the LCD screen facing the Secret Realm will also play wonderful Hollywood blockbusters at night. It seems that this kind of experience can only be felt on international cruise ships. Unexpectedly, it can be directly experienced in the city now. Under the starry sky, bathing in the open air and watching movies. Do you think that hot spring bathing can also be very romantic? Second floor multi-functional area: Personally, no matter how good the hot spring pools are, don’t be greedy for enjoyment. Because if you soak for too long, your physical strength will be lost quickly. So after about 20-30 minutes, you can move to the indoor leisure area and enjoy a proper holiday time. The exits of the men’s and women’s pools directly face the elevators to the rest area. You can directly reach the leisure area on the second floor and the dining area on the third floor, which is very convenient. Of course, you can also choose to use the stairs to go back and forth. All indoor areas, except for the passage connecting to the physiotherapy area of the annex building, are covered with floor heating, so you don’t have to worry about being cold even if you walk barefoot. In the open circular area on the second floor, treadmills and fitness equipment are arranged in sequence, which seems to make the ordinary hot spring bathing life become rich and colorful again. Hot spring bathing + running + cycling. It seems that the plan to lose weight at Red Pavilion can definitely be put on the agenda again. After taking a hot spring bath, sweating in a sauna is naturally essential. The five different themed energy fields specially introduced by Oriental Spring Capital from Japan are crafted according to international physiotherapy techniques. They cleverly use different methods such as sound, light, electricity, and gas to nourish the human internal organs. It can be said to be an upgraded version of traditional sauna! The five healthy energy fields with different functions, namely Bamboo Charcoal Palace, Rose Aromatherapy Palace, Wormwood Palace, Salt Heat Palace, and Music Warm Palace, can detoxify the body. No wonder compared to outdoor hot spring bathing, girls are more fond of indoor sauna. There is a way to maintain beauty.
After leaving the sweat room, lie down on the casually placed lazy sofa for a ‘Ge You slouch’ to truly liberate oneself. The creatively opened reading area is more suitable for those who want to chase dramas or cultivate their minds. Third floor food theme park: The food area on the third floor can be replenished appropriately. The movie leisure area allows you to watch blockbusters while enjoying delicious food, which is quite considerate and humanized. Leo Star Baby Paradise must be strongly recommended. This free leisure theme park for children’s entertainment, intellectual development and parent-child interaction. Introducing the concept of North American children’s growth paradise, the entire park has rich colors and cool dynamic shapes. It is not only a magical paradise for children, but also suitable for those adults who don’t want to grow up. I believe no child can resist playing in this park for a whole day. Moreover, the park also provides free care. Parents with children will inevitably be exhausted by naughty children after taking them out for a long time. At this time, a park with special care is one of the best ways for you to free your hands and enjoy your weekend life. Just think, even if you take your child to a similar children’s park on the weekend, it costs hundreds of yuan for a single visit. But coming to Oriental Spring Capital for a hot spring bath, everything else is given for free. Do you think you’ve made a profit? Entering this baby paradise is like entering a small world full of childishness. It integrates wisdom development games into fashionable and cool sounds, lights, electricity and other technologies, and perfectly combines colors, shapes, dynamics and vocal music. While children are playing here, they can also exercise their thinking ability. It’s killing two birds with one stone. Even these ‘big friends’ around are all attracted by the park without exception. A kind reminder, in the world belonging to children, try to return the space to the children. What do you think? Food recommendation: In addition to the food town in the main building of area A, the Qingyangli Green Plant Museum Restaurant on the other side of the corridor bridge in area B is the star food area of Red Pavilion. The spacious and bright dining area mainly features pure green and natural ingredients. All the green vegetables on the display cabinets can be directly used for dining and cooking. In fact, when I saw at first glance that the mixed vegetables, cabbage and lettuce in the salad bowl came from here, I was also a little surprised. However, I am very impressed by the concept of Oriental Spring Capital’s determination to implement natural and healthy dining to the end. Here, there are also characteristic cuisines from all over the world, including Boston lobster, Japanese beef hot pot, local dishes with thick sauce, Cantonese barbecue and other dishes. There is even a more cost-effective buffet dinner for everyone to choose. We recommend a special drink currently promoted by Red Pavilion that combines fresh fruits and enzymes. It also aims to regulate the intestines and improve the quality of healthy life. You who like to try new things should not miss it.
The genuine therapeutic world of Eastern Springs, meticulously crafted by Shanghai Huagang Health Lifestyle Pavilion for the citizens, offers a new health experience. As the mainstay of leading a healthy lifestyle, health therapy is indispensable. Don’t miss the B District’s Mu Xin Health Preservation Pavilion. The Mu Xin Health Preservation Pavilion, with the concept of ‘Chinese Health Preservation’, provides professional SPA beauty and body care, Yuanji spinal therapy, traditional Chinese massage, and moxibustion, among other distinctive therapeutic experiences. You can also experience the enzyme bath, which is naturally fermented from a mixture of enzyme probiotics extracted from various plants and more than twenty precious medicinal materials with cypress powder, which significantly promotes blood circulation and accelerates metabolism. Due to the limited daily supply, advance reservation is required for those who wish to experience it. True health preservation begins now. The outdoor pools at night showcase exciting performances and outdoor movies, making the nights at ‘Red Pavilion’ more colorful. As the year-end approaches, come to Eastern Springs to enjoy a one-stop service of eating, drinking, and soaking in the hot springs, and reward yourself well! Are you ready?
