History and Culture
The hot spring resources in Yonghan, Longmen have a long development history. Since ancient times, local residents have had the custom of bathing in hot spring water to recuperate. Relying on the forest ecological environment of Nankun Mountain, the local Lingnan mountain hot spring health preservation tradition has been formed. As a key project under the "Thirteen Hot Springs" brand of Longmen, Cloud Nine Hot Spring develops a modern resort based on local natural hot spring resources, combining traditional hot spring health preservation concepts with modern vacation modes.
During its development, the resort keeps exploring the integrated development path of hot spring health culture. It has cooperated with Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine to build an innovative practice base for traditional Chinese medicine health preservation. It develops herbal pools prepared with local medicinal materials such as mugwort, astragalus and lemongrass, launches supporting hot spring medicinal food experiences, and inherits the Lingnan medicinal bath health culture. Later, it introduced whisky cultural tourism integration projects, creating featured experiences of hot springs paired with whisky tasting, forming differentiated hot spring vacation culture and enriching the connotation of the hot spring health industry in Longmen.
