Xishan, listed on Trip.com as Joyful Oasis, is a large bathing and entertainment complex in northwestern Beijing. After a soak, guests can eat, change into lounge clothes and move on to games or a nap. Families value having a full day’s activities under one roof: children enjoy the water slides and play areas, while adults appreciate warm pools and breaks between activities. Treat it as a separate day out, rather than a quick stop between museums. There is a hotel within the same complex, but a bedroom and admission to the bathing facilities are sold through different packages.
A renovation notice applies in September 2026: the swimming pool and large and small hydrotherapy pools have been closed since 1 September. The stated reopening target is 1 October, subject to change. According to the notice, the remaining bathing areas continue operating. Outdoor pools had a separately announced closure for 7–9 September; those dates have passed, but their actual availability should still be checked before travelling. Photographs and swimming reviews from before the works do not represent the current selection. If a particular slide matters to your child, or swimming is the purpose of your visit, first confirm the relevant area on +86 10 62186666.
Visitors praise the variety of pools, family games and buffet choice, although food opinions differ. Activities mentioned include go-karts, small-scale bowling, climbing structures and board games; check operating times and age restrictions on arrival. Guests confirm that swimwear is worn in the shared bathing area, with separate changing rooms and showers. Bring bathing essentials, dry underwear and a bag for wet items. Parents should also verify childcare arrangements before booking treatments for themselves: eligible ages, available spaces and the language used by staff matter. Descriptions of a supervised children’s room are not a guarantee that it can accommodate every visiting child.
Read the ticket conditions closely: how many hours are allowed, which main meal is included, and whether breakfast and a late-night snack are available. Visitors often describe 18-hour packages with a choice of lunch or dinner, but offers change. This does not promise two main meals or a free hotel room. Massage, certain activities and drinks outside the included meal arrangements may add to the bill. A June 2026 visitor reported queues for dinner and even longer ones for late-night food, so arriving near the end of service is risky. For sleep, compare a communal lounge, a small resting compartment and a hotel room beforehand; that guest disliked closely packed tents with little privacy.
Allow six to eight hours for a first visit and favour a weekday morning. Complaints about noise and limited quiet space appear in older accounts, while recent ones again describe crowds; more entertainment does not necessarily mean better sleep. Metro line 16 to Yongfengnan followed by a walk is an alternative to traffic through the northwestern business districts. Save 陆地游轮西山温泉 and 丰智东路13号 for navigation; Amap also labels the street 丰滢东路. The main bathing area normally opens from 09:00 to midnight, with separate schedules for games and resting facilities. Before leaving, confirm the renovations, included meals and last admission for your particular ticket.
