Believe it or not but this is for real at Maple Leaf Village Hot Spring Resort in Harbin, China, where the spa game is taken to a whole new level. This resort is not just about relaxation; it's an experience.

The hotpot spa, designed like a giant steaming pot, is divided into two sections — one with spicy red broth and the other with milky white soup, both infused with herbs and flowers for skin care. But that's not all — there's also a fish spa where tiny fish nibble away dead skin and warm outdoor hot tubs to enjoy even in sub-zero temperatures.
The resort offers a range of amenities, including a giant dome sauna, nap rooms and food areas, all for approximately Rs 2,500 ($28).
