Deal price: hot-spring suite, 1 night — ¥488 (≈$69) (was ¥988, 50% off) · Valid Sep 23 – Dec 30, 2026 · Book by 23:59 the day before · No surcharge on weekends · Refundable if unreserved, auto-refund on expiry

Hidden in the green hills of Julong Town, Huian, Longgu Shanfang （龙谷山房） is the quiet, classical-Chinese sibling of the Julong hot-spring resort next door: an antique-style courtyard inn wrapped in forest, where the air carries a measured 5,000 negative oxygen ions per cm³ and every corner — carved screens, stone paths, mist over the valley — looks like a period drama set. Families come for the slow version of a hot-spring weekend: wander the grounds and classical gardens by day, let the kids loose in the play zones, then soak the tiredness off in the evening.

The soaking happens at the shared Julong Hot Spring Park, whose water is metasilicic fluorinated spring water drawn from 1,200 meters underground, spread across 30-plus pools in seven zones — kids’ splash area, Chinese-herbal pools, flower-petal pools, warm stone slabs and a hydrotherapy pool. Your suite is one of two Chinese-style options, Heyue （荷月） or Qingfeng （清风）, and the voucher covers the full family kit for 2 adults + 2 kids (under 1.4m): the suite, buffet breakfast, spring-park tickets, and the Pinecone Tribe kids’ zone with its slides — plus the free in-resort shuttle and free parking.

⚠️ The family-math details: weekends are genuinely flat — the only surcharge on the books was National Day (Oct 1–6, ¥150, already past). Upgrading to a family room costs ¥100 per voucher if you want the bigger layout. Extra children pay at the venue: breakfast ¥38 (under 1.4m) / ¥48 (above), spring park ¥88 per person, Pinecone Tribe ¥38 / ¥10. Stay window is 15:00 to 12:00 next day, and unused items in the bundle aren’t refunded piecemeal.

What’s included (2 adults + 2 kids under 1.4m)

1 night in a Heyue or Qingfeng suite
Buffet breakfast for 2 adults + 2 kids
Julong Hot Spring Park tickets for 2 adults + 2 kids
Pinecone Tribe （松果部落） kids zone for 2 adults + 2 kids
Free shuttle within the resort + free parking

Good to know: Longgu Shanfang and the Julong Hot Spring Park Hotel share the same spring park and Pinecone Tribe — the difference is the room. Pick the Park Hotel if you want a private tub in the room; pick Longgu Shanfang if you’d rather sleep in a quiet courtyard suite in the forest and walk to the pools. The inn is in Julong Town, Huangtang, Huian — roughly 40 minutes from Quanzhou city, an easy Xiamen weekend run.

What guests say

This listing’s own review pool on the booking platform is still empty, so here is what verified guests say about the hotel on Trip.com (Ctrip’s international site), where Longgu Shanfang holds 9.5/10 across 296 reviews:

“The room was clean and tidy with complete facilities. The staff were wonderful — they helped with our luggage and patiently gave us tips. The place is quiet with beautiful surroundings; put on the floral hairpins and matching outfits and the photos come out gorgeous.” — M597127**** · review on Trip.com · Oct 2025

“Staying at Longgu Shanfang in Julong Town was a perfect experience. The moment you step in, the quiet, elegant environment relaxes you — antique-style architecture full of charm, a warm and exquisite room, every facility you need and clearly high quality. Outside the window it’s picturesque nature, like living in a paradise. The service is impeccable: warm, thoughtful, every request answered. And it’s only a short hop to the hot-spring hotel, with sightseeing carts picking you up anytime — the spring area is clean and tidy, the pools nicely arranged, the water temperature just right and the water itself clear and smooth; soak and the fatigue and stress just melt away. Staff keep bringing tea and towels. Highly recommended.” — M759070**** · review on Trip.com · Dec 2024

“The air really is oxygen-rich, and the room’s cleanliness and facilities are good — in the family room the kids can entertain themselves for a long time. Two honest caveats: walking up and down the hillside with small kids is a bit tiring, and with a big suitcase staff may not proactively offer to carry it up (though requests like the shuttle or room supplies are answered fast, and the attitude is good). There’s also almost no food delivery out here.” — M841236**** · review on Trip.com · May 2025
