Longsheng Hot Spring(chin.龙胜温泉, Pinyin: Lóngshèng wēnquán) is 110 from guilin, reputed as "a heaven of peace and happiness" and "paradise on earth," is the centerpiece of the national park. The park embraces dense forest suspension bridges and the Nature Reserve known as a "botanical treasure house". The silver fir, a rare plant called a 'living fossil", can be found here.

The long sheng Hot Springs, surrounded by green mountains, is an ideal summer resort, a place for convalescence, a health-building center and a tourist attraction, with fresh air and pure water- cool in summer and warm in winter. Welling out from rock cracks halfway up the mountain, the hot spring water is colorless, tasteless, pure and clear, 54-58 degrees centigrade, and consists of many trace elements, such as lithium, strontium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper and other elements. The water is good for drinking and bathing. It also has curative effects for nerves, skin diseases, rheumatism, and arthritis. Since Longsheng Hot Spring is situated in a deep and tranquil valley and surrounded by mountains of dense vegetation, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is an agreeable resort for tourism, recuperation, health, relaxation and vacation.

Bathing in the springs is not only healthful, but can reputedly alleviate diseases such as cardiopathy and rheumatism as well as certain skin conditions. Unlike other hot springs, the water here is so pure and limpid that it can be drunk directly from the source. It is no wonder that Longsheng is the most famous hot springs in south China.

Adjacent to the park are Zhuang, Yao and Miao villages, where the hospitable minority people welcome tourists with songs and dances. Visitors may feast their eyes on ancient elegantly made ethnic architecture, such as the "wind-and -rain" bridges and drum towers of the tong people, wooden buildings of the Zhuang, stilt houses of the Miao and unique homes of the Yao.
