Followed the steadily advance of the society and the enhance of people’s life, the number of people investing in health is increasing while the popularity of bath is also ascending. Wit surveys, it has been found that the existing problems in the development of domestic bath industry are as follows. Firstly, the aimless development and chaotic plagiarism have given rise to the similarity of various bath centers, which have no own characteristics, not to mention the combination with regional culture and other factors. The void of cultural atmosphere in bath and rest area will lead to the failure in attracting consumers. Therefore, to design bath spaces with reasonable space functions, sleek space line and cultural atmosphere becomes an orientation in the market. By acquiring both excellent domestic and foreign bath center designs, it is feasible to improve the deficiencies in the design of bath centers in China. It is suggested to create ecological environmental protection sustainable Tangquan (hot spring) leisure and entertainment spaces, and bath centers with cultural atmosphere by means of making use of space organization to configure, grasp the internal logic of spatial organization, meet the psychological needs of the type of physical elements and the environment[1], and combine the natural environment, folk culture, etc.
