Hainan Xinglong Tropical Hot Spring in Wanning draws sulfated and calcic geothermal water from the volcanic basement of eastern Hainan island in the Xinglong area — a remarkable community established in the 1950s by ethnic Chinese repatriates from Southeast Asia, who brought with them the tropical food culture, coffee cultivation traditions, and multicultural heritage of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam that give Xinglong its uniquely cosmopolitan character among Chinese agricultural communities. The therapeutic mineral springs feed outdoor bathing facilities surrounded by the lush tropical garden landscape of a community known for its extraordinary Xinglong coffee — one of China's finest arabica coffees grown in volcanic highland soil — and the Southeast Asian culinary traditions maintained by the Returned Overseas Chinese families. Combining sulfated mineral bathing with the extraordinary multicultural food heritage and tropical garden setting of Xinglong creates a Hainan wellness experience of unusual cultural richness and tropical botanical beauty.
Insider tip — Xinglong tropical hot spring in central Hainan combines geothermal bathing with one of China's most atmospheric tropical botanical gardens, planted by overseas Chinese returnees in the 1950s. The calcium-rich waters emerge at up to 45 °C and are diluted into a range of themed pools including coconut-milk and flower-infused soaking tubs. Surrounded by 1 000-year-old banyans and rustling palms, the steam pools feel genuinely jungle-like. Xinglong coffee, grown locally and renowned across China, makes the perfect post-soak brew.
