Deal price: one soak each at 28 hot springs — ¥168 (≈$23, was ¥1,969, about 9% of list) · Valid May 13 – Dec 31, 2026, any day of the week · ⏰ refundable anytime if unreserved

The “Golden Soup Passport” (金汤护照) is a returning bestseller for hot-spring season: one ¥168 real-name card covers one visit each at 28 well-known hot-spring resorts across 9 provinces — Fujian and Guangdong are the densest clusters, which makes it a natural fit for families based in the southeast. Think of it less as a single ticket and more as a winter soaking itinerary: Xiamen’s Riyuegu, Fuzhou’s Minggu pavilion inside the Hot Spring Museum, the cave springs and forest springs scattered through Fujian, then Qingyuan’s Xilegu and Huizhou’s Nankunshan Yunding over the border in Guangdong. At ¥168 for the lot, using even four or five venues already beats paying gate prices.

How the card actually works (the fine print that matters): the card is real-name — at your first booking you bind it to your own ID, one ID binds exactly one card, and venues verify the holder’s ID on site, so it can’t be lent or transferred. Each listed venue can be visited exactly once on the card. Booking takes just a minute’s lead time before you go. Most venues throw in extras for cardholders — second-visit and companion discounts (typically 50–90% of online price), free fish-therapy vouchers, late-checkout coupons and child-height discounts.

⚠️ Read the time slots before you plan a trip: the “free” visit at the most popular venues is tied to specific windows, with a small front-desk top-up outside them. At Xiamen Riyuegu, the card covers weekday early-bird entry (10:00–12:00) and night soaks (18:00–22:00) from May to December — other times cost a ¥60/person top-up. At Fuzhou Minggu, weekday nights (18:00–24:00) are included; weekends and other times add ¥30. Qingyuan Xilegu is weekdays-only on the card, and Nankunshan Yunding adds ¥69 on weekends and doesn’t accept the card on public holidays at all. And the hard deadline: every soak must be used by Dec 31, 2026 — unreserved cards refund anytime, but an unused venue in January is simply gone.

“Bought it several years running now — the water quality is genuinely clean, parking is easy, and the whole experience is great. Front-desk Harry looked after us really well.” — 午***🌞 · repeat cardholder

“The Riyuegu group deal was such a steal — it even included a meal and fruit! I had a huge bowl of satay noodles. 👍” — 米***游 · used at Xiamen Riyuegu

“Packing list from experience: swim cap, comb, body lotion, waterproof phone pouch, disposable bath towel, power bank — and bring your own slippers and tissues. Rainy days are fine too, the pools have umbrellas and pavilions. All in all a solid pick for the whole family.” — 133****2040 · family visit
