What to Do at Thanh Tan Hot Springs – Discover Entertainment & Resort Activities

Thanh Tan Hot Springs is located in Phong Son Commune, Phong Dien District, Thua Thien Hue Province, about 30 km northwest of Hue city center, at the foot of the Truong Son mountain range. Surrounded by lush green forests and mountains with fresh air, it is very suitable for those who want to escape from the urban noise.

The hot spring source was discovered by French physician Albert Sallet in 1928. Mineral water flows from a depth of over 1,200 meters underground, rich in silica, sulfate, and many beneficial minerals for the skin, joints, and nervous system. This water source is highly appreciated for its dissolved mineral quality and has been officially recognized since 1983. Currently, the area belongs to the Alba / Fusion network, developed into a large-scale resort and entertainment complex.

Popular ways to travel:

• From Hue: follow Highway 1A north for about 20 km to An Lo Bridge, turn left and continue for another 10 km.

• From Da Nang: about 140 km along Highway 1A going north.

• Transportation: private car, taxi, limousine, or passenger bus. It is recommended to check the road beforehand as there are winding pass sections.

The most ideal time is usually the dry season (March–November), especially October–November when the weather is cool and pleasant for both mineral bathing and outdoor activities.

The core experience here is soaking in open-air hot mineral streams. The system consists of two natural mineral streams and a swimming pool with different temperatures. The water can reach nearly 70°C at the source, offering deep relaxation, supporting blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and improving skin thanks to natural minerals. You can combine this with a mineral mud bath—a therapy that helps cleanse skin, reduce stress, and support joints. Many visitors enjoy eating chicken eggs boiled right in the hot spring, a unique culinary experience right on the spot.

Note: Each soak should only last for 15–20 minutes; people with cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, pregnant women, or those who have recently had surgery should consult a doctor before using the services.

If you love adventurous activities, Thanh Tan Hot Springs will offer many challenging experiences. The most prominent is the Zipline with a slide length of about 560 m, taking visitors across the forest from a height of dozens of meters, delivering a thrilling sensation and panoramic views of nature from above.

In addition, Highwire is a cable obstacle system featuring multiple challenges at a height of over 6 m, requiring dexterity, balance, and a conquering spirit. Furthermore, the tourist site features a suspension bridge across the stream, which is a favorite check-in spot for many visitors. To ensure safety, participants should wear neat clothes, sports shoes, and follow the instructions of the staff.

Besides adventurous games, Thanh Tan Hot Springs also offers gentle activities suitable for families and young children.

• Deer Garden: Visit and interact gently with deer, creating fun memories for young children.

• Craft Village: Learn pottery making or traditional crafts, both fun and educational.

• Water play area and swimming pool for children, along with a spacious green space to run around and enjoy a light picnic.

The spacious green environment with many rest and picnic areas is also a plus point, helping the whole family relax and enjoy intimate moments with nature.
