Open Air Hot Spring:
The ultimate hot spring relaxation is soaking in hot water while enjoying beautiful natural surroundings. Open-air hot springs offer sweeping natural landscapes in a comfortable and relaxing environment. The sounds of water slowly trickling in the stream and birds chirping compose nature's most relaxing symphony. The natural rocks and stones surrounding the area add to the soothing atmosphere. For those tired of being in a spa room, it is worth trying an open-air hot spring, as the experience will melt away stress and fatigue. Open-air hot springs are generally semi-open-air or fully outdoor. Semi-open-air springs are usually located in hotels. Nude hot springs are not available at every location, therefore, visitors should check with each hot spring facility prior to visiting.
Individual Springs:
Individual springs are the preferred choice for city dwellers because they offers privacy. Some individual springs are refined and exquisite, while others feature different landscapes, scenic and marble bathtubs in spacious rooms with large floor-to-ceiling windows. The views of lush mountains and streams outside the window transport your mind far from the noisy city. Beitou Hot Spring is located in misty, cloud-shrouded mountains with the serene sounds of water trickling in nearby streams. Indulging in the tranquil surroundings makes you feel lazy and carefree. Many hot spring facilities offer a variety of equipment and amenities, and the options continue to grow. There are even special packages that include an overnight stay with breakfast and dinner. Are you tempted? Why not make plans right now!
Hot Spring Swimming Pool:
Swimming is a full-body exercise that's also great for stress relief. Similar to the tu-na breathing exercise in Qigong, an important part of swimming is breathing, which has a significant impact on heart and lung function and increases the flexibility of muscles and joints. For seniors, swimming is a wonderful exercise because it helps prevent calcium loss and minimizes bone injuries. For regular swimmers, enjoying scenic views while maintaining their exercise routine is an added bonus.
Hot Spring Hydrotherapy:
There are more and more new hydrotherapy facilities in hot spring areas. Most people are familiar with hydro jet massage therapy, which includes hydro massage chairs, jet massage therapy, rain showers, gooseneck nozzles, duckbill spray heads and pool spa massage beds. The water pressure from hydrotherapy targets various parts of the body and provides a relaxing massage. The combination of water pressure and different water qualities stimulates various pressure points in the body to restore balance, loosen tight muscles and nerves, and allow the whole body to relax. The water's buoyancy helps lighten the body’s load, relax muscles and joints, and stimulate blood circulation and heart function. The appropriate water temperature also aids in the absorption of oxygen and nutrients, speeds up waste elimination, and strengthens metabolism.
Healthy Hot Spring:
Essential oils, herb bags, bath salts, lavender, fresh ginger, mint, rose and vanilla are some of the ingredients that can be added to the hot spring bath. These ingredients make your hot spring experience more enjoyable and relaxing, and also help restore your energy and health. The various delicious and healthy hot spring meals are also wonderful to enjoy with a few friends.
Hot Spring in the Wild:
Hot springs in the wild have gained popularity in recent years because the trip is full of surprises. Before leaving for your trip, be sure to do some research so you won't miss any beautiful scenery along the way. We recommend going with friends so you can help each other out. Do not plan your trip during typhoons, the spring rainy season, the dry season (November to March), or on days with bad weather. Please note that some locations require a permit, and it's necessary to acquire one before your trip. Wild hot springs need everyone's help to maintain cleanliness. Please pick up your own garbage and take it back with you. Also, the paths are narrow, so you need to pay attention to cars that share the road with you.
