Taiwan has the largest concentration of natural hot springs in the world and everybody we meet says that no visit to the country is complete without enjoying a dip in this amazing water. After tonight, I'm going to have to agree.
This weekend our neighbors gave us a voucher for a free hour at a resort in Beitou, which is in the northern part of Taipei. Beitou is hot springs central, and a number of resorts have popped up which pump the natural hot spring water into public and private rooms. Our coupon (which we found out was valued at $60 CAN/hour!) was good for an hour in a private room. The "Fennel" room to be exact.
We were met by a lady who brought us to the room and went through each knob and button with us by miming everything to show us how to use the facilities. In our room there was a huge, stone hot tub, shower, washroom, sink, bottles of water, a sofa and a window overlooking the city.
And wine!!
After our time was up we were given vouchers for two free drinks at the resort restaurant, where we each got a kiwi smoothie to cool down.
We were pretty happy and relaxed the whole way home. Best. Hour. Ever.
