Hot Springs at Yang Ming Shan

We went to Yang Ming Shan after work yesterday to have a hot spring bath!!! It was truly refreshing.. the whole experience was an eye-opener... cos we had to be naked in order to take the bath... not even a towel can be used to wrap ur body with in the water! Unfortunately cant take pics... sorry guys!

Description of the hot spring place:
  • Male and female are separated. You can choose to either enter the public pool or private pool. However, the private pool only contains hot pool.
  • There's lockers for you to store your own things. Have to bring your own towels though.
  • Must wear the shower cap provided.
  • Take a quick shower by the hot spring pool before entering the pool.
  • There's 3 pools in the public pool area; hot, cold and warm.
  • Ohh.. another rule is you cant be in the hot pool for more than 20 minutes.
  • If you're bored with the pools, there's always the sauna room to enjoy.
  • Besides that, there's also 3 types of shower u can take which is damn strong.. apparently it has some kind of massage effect.
  • After you're too hot to continue or too bored with the bath, u can take a shower with the shower gel and shampoo provided.


So.. you must be wondering how long we were there and how much it costs. Well, we were in the pool area for 1 hour.. and its free if you have your dinner in the same place. But your total dinner costs must be at least NT$400 (which is about RM49), which is not too bad. If you just want to enjoy the hot spring then its NT$200 (RM25).

I think we handled the naked thing pretty well... definitely a good experience. .. if ur wondering if there's anybody else in there?? of course there is.. lots of them.. hahahaha.. but the bath is good for the skin so it was worth it.

Until next time...
