Greenhouses and Warm Springs on the Baobai Road: Jingbao Hot Spring Farm
温泉润土果蔬鲜，一家老小乐田园 Wēnquán rùn tǔ shūguǒ xiān, yī jiā lǎo xiǎo lè tiányuán – Warm springs sweeten the soil and the fruit; the whole family plays at farm life
晶宝温泉农庄 Jīngbǎo Wēnquán Nóngzhuāng turns the district’s warm-spring water into a full family farm park on the 宝白公路 Bǎobái Gōnglù Baobai highway south of town – tropical greenhouse rows, soilless growing beds, a shrimp-catching play pond and picking orchards laid out by 天津市宝坻区 Tiānjīn Shì Bǎodǐ Qū Baodi District’s modern-agriculture company as the county’s flagship weekend farm. The pitch is simple: see where food grows, catch some of it, eat most of it, and soak warm when the walking is done.
The tropical greenhouse is the winter ace. Banana and papaya under glass, hanging vines over the walkways, and the humidity hitting the door like a curtain – a December visit reads like a July one. The soilless rows demonstrate the hydroponic craft to school groups on weekdays and to anyone else who asks; the staff will walk you through the nutrient lines unprompted.
The play side keeps the children sovereign. The little-fisher catching pond stocks shrimp and small carp for the nets, the petting corners feed the goats, and the ice-cream barn turns the farm’s own milk into the afternoon’s bribe. Picking season rotates – strawberry spring, cherry summer, persimmon autumn – and the orchard rows thin out honestly fast on good weekends.
The warm-spring side is the quiet payoff. Soaking pools draw on the same water that warms the greenhouses, and the contrast – frost on the lane, steam on the water – is the farm’s best memory. Day-trippers soak before the drive home; the overnight crowd books the adjacent resort rooms and repeats the greenhouses after breakfast.
Practicalities
- Weekends run picking-and-playing crowds – weekday mornings have the greenhouses almost to yourself.
- Bring a change of clothes for the catching pond; the nets are provided, the drying racks are not.
- Picking season rotates by fruit; call ahead or scan the farm’s notice for what’s ripe.
- The soak pools charge separately from the farm gate – budget both if winter visiting.

flowcloud would say Jingbao is a farm doing theme-park math: warm water, glass houses and a shrimp pond, all engineered to make a child think agriculture is the best game ever shipped. All checked November 2026.
Getting there: The farm lies on the S220 Baobai highway south of town – drive the south ring to the signed gate with lots at the greenhouse rows, or bus toward the farm stop on the highway. All checked November 2026.
