Xinyinzhan Hot Spring Holiday Resort
Sixty-plus pools, a waterpark and Huanglong Gorge nearby
About this hotel
Scale is the defining feature here: more than sixty pools spread across the resort, spanning hot-spring soaking pools, a dedicated waterpark section and standard outdoor swimming water, backed by a full spa and karaoke facilities for evenings. Days tend to move between the pool network and the waterpark section, with a rafting trip to Huanglong Gorge, roughly ten minutes away by taxi, breaking up a longer stay. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are included, and the restaurant on-site means meals rarely require leaving the property. Kid-friendly rooms and a fitness center round out the amenity list, and at around 69 a night it's competitively priced against Qingyuan's smaller, single-pool hotels given the sheer amount of pool access included. The roughly 44-minute airport transfer is also shorter than several other hotels in the city.

Our take
This suits travelers who want pool variety and scale over a single-pool stay, especially families or groups planning several days around the resort's own grounds. The waterpark section and Huanglong Gorge proximity make it a strong pick for anyone combining resort time with outdoor activity. Travelers wanting a quiet, minimal-amenity stay or a quick overnight should look toward smaller Qingyuan hotels instead, since a sixty-plus-pool resort rewards a longer visit.
- ✓Plan at least two nights here if the pool count is the draw; sixty-plus pools take more than one evening to properly sample.
- ✓Pair a resort day with a Huanglong Gorge rafting trip, roughly ten minutes away by taxi, to break up time at the pools.
- ✓Use the included free breakfast, Wi-Fi and restaurant to keep costs down across a multi-day stay.

Why guests love itGroups and families tend to treat this resort as the whole trip rather than a base for exploring elsewhere: the waterpark section covers active afternoons, the wider pool network offers a quieter soak in the evening, and a short taxi ride out to Huanglong Gorge adds a rafting day without needing to change hotels. The included breakfast and Wi-Fi make a multi-day stay easy to manage, and there's genuinely enough on the property to fill several days without repeating a pool.
