Qushui Lanting Shanghai Review: Is the ~$230 All-Inclusive Wristband Worth It?

You have probably seen viral videos of travelers spending 14 to 24 hours inside Qushui Lanting Shanghai (曲水兰亭). Unlike OTA ticket pages that only list an address, here is the honest breakdown of what your RMB 1,398–1,698 ($195–$235 USD) wristband actually includes — and how to time your arrival so you hit two peak gourmet buffet windows.

Qushui Lanting Shanghai style darkened stone soaking hall with warm water curtain reflections

01 · Gourmet Buffet Windows

King Crab, Caviar & 24/7 Fruit Bar

While imported fruit (Chilean cherries, mangosteen, strawberries), Perrier, Evian, Starbucks, and Häagen-Dazs run 24 hours a day, the hot gourmet dining hall serves peak seafood, sashimi, Peking duck, and steak during lunch (11:30–13:30), dinner (17:30–21:00), and midnight supper (23:00–01:00). Pro tip: Arrive at 16:30 to soak first, then hit both dinner and breakfast.

02 · Architectural Soaking Halls

Water-Curtain Pools & Dyson Vanities

Designed like a darkened Song-dynasty water pavilion, the gender-separated bath halls feature dramatic cascading water curtains, carbonate mineral pools, cypress dry saunas, and dressing rooms stocked with Dyson hair dryers and luxury skincare.

03 · What Costs Extra on Your Wristband

Cuozao Scrubs & Private Sleeping Suites

Food, drinks, soaking, and the dark-room recliner lounge (+¥99 overnight fee after 02:00 AM) are included. Manual treatments — such as a 40-minute Cuozao milk/wine scrub (¥298+) or a 90-minute Tuina massage in a private sleeping suite (¥598+) — are billed à la carte to your wristband.

How a 24-Hour Chinese Bathhouse Works: 5-Step Wristband Guide

Step through the RFID wristband check-in, gender-separated hot spring etiquette, unlimited fruit buffets, and foreign passport overnight rules.

RFID Wristband + Overnight Ledger

Step 1: Check-In and Wristband System

换鞋领手牌

Step inside the lobby, remove your street shoes at the illuminated counter, and receive an RFID magnetic wristband (手牌 Shǒupái). You pay RMB 0 upfront — every buffet meal, massage, drink, and overnight fee is tapped onto this wristband and settled at checkout.

Never walk past the shoe-change mat in outside sneakers — staff will hand you sterilized slippers or barefoot socks.

Your wristband number matches both your shoe locker and your changing-room wardrobe locker.

Keep your wristband on your wrist even inside the hot mineral pools (it is 100% waterproof).

Insider Tip for Foreigners: Planning to sleep past 02:00 AM? Hand your physical passport (not a photo) to reception right at check-in so they can verify PSB Foreign-ID capability before you undress.

Foreign Passport Overnight Rule (PSB Scanner)

Can Foreigners Sleep Overnight at a 24-Hour Spa in China?

Yes — with one mandatory rule: Chinese law requires any guest staying past 02:00 AM to be registered in the Public Security Bureau (PSB) Foreign-ID Scanner (旅馆业治安管理涉外系统). Major chains (Qushui Lanting, Gokurakuyu, Tangland, New Star, Shuiguo) have foreign passport scanners at reception.

• Bring your physical passport (phone photos cannot be scanned after 02:00 AM).
• 28-Inch Luggage Storage: Stored free at the entrance bell desk with a claim tag.
