Yancheng Dafeng Hot Spring is a thermal bathing facility in Dafeng District, Yancheng City, Jiangsu Province, China, situated on the flat coastal plain of the Yellow Sea, an area internationally recognized as the critical staging ground for the East Asian-Australasian Flyway's migratory shorebirds — protected within the UNESCO World Heritage Migratory Bird Sanctuaries that are home to the critically endangered spoon-billed sandpiper. The naturally chloride-sodium spring waters here draw from the deep saline aquifers of Jiangsu's tidal coastal plain, valued for their warmth and mineral richness suited to relaxation and circulation improvement. Offering thermal bathing within one of the world's most important coastal wetland bird habitats, Dafeng Hot Spring provides a distinctive wellness experience where mineral soaking coincides with the extraordinary spectacle of migratory waterbirds along China's Yellow Sea coast.

Insider tip — Yancheng Dafeng Hot Spring taps Cretaceous sodium-chloride brine from deep alluvial sediments on the Jiangsu coastal plain, heating pools to a comfortable 41°C. The Dafeng District is home to the Milu Deer Nature Reserve, where the world's largest herd of the once-extinct Père David's deer roams freely — an unusual wildlife pairing with thermal bathing. The flat coastal wetlands here shelter hundreds of migratory bird species on the East Asian–Australasian Flyway.
