Wulai Spring Resort Hot Spring Experience in New Taipei

The semi-open-air hot spring house is great. There is a roof over the hot spring pool. Outside the pool, you can see streams, waterfalls, and mountain views. During the bathing break, you can enjoy the river waterfalls and breathe the natural fresh air. recommend!

One of the highlights of my Taiwan trip was visiting Wulai. It’s a beautiful spot and perfect for anyone looking for a quick escape from city life. The hot spring experience was especially memorable, as it was my first time trying an onsen. The facilities were excellent, and it was nice to see locals in the bathhouse who seemed to already know each other, it gave the place a warm, community feel. Although none of the staff were proficient in English, they still made sure I was well taken care of. What made the experience even better was the free meal after the bath and the complimentary shuttle back to the town proper. Overall, it was a relaxing and worthwhile experience, and I would definitely come back on my next visit to Taiwan.

The bathing environment is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and the facilities are very complete. I have been there once and will want to go there a second time. The CP value is very high, and it is a place worth visiting again and again.

pick up service: call the resort for pick up service once you touch down at the base terminal near the bridge. they provide free pick up and drop off. Photos is not really what you see, it is a very traditional place for hot spring. i feel it is very close to mother nature and i love it. i went to the public hotspring. only thing that i feel maybe can improve is the slippery floor. even the locals ask me to be careful on the floor as many people have slipped. other than that, overall is super good, very nice place and you might find it quite old. facilities all there. 80% of the crowds are elderlys with their weekly khakis. they also offer free cake and drink at the basement cafe after you’re done. can soak all day there and chill beside the river view. very cooling place, not hot at all. hotspring water is very hot, at different temperatures, other facilities include sauna with salt provided, steam room and cold water pool. location wise you can either request pickup or walk in, i walked in to experience the forest hike. it is worth it! counter staff are super friendly as well. more for the locals. Wulai you can find dozens of hotspring stalls but i find this is closest to mother nature. open air with great river views. compared to other hotspring stalls at the base terminal, it is expensive too. this hotspring is affordable and can’t wait to come back here again and chit chat with the khakis!

The water temperature is very sufficient and there will be a 10-minute buffer time. The semi-open-air hot spring house is great ~ the service staff are also very nice

I was satisfied with the facilities, service, and value for money. I was able to enjoy the hot springs with the beautiful scenery, and the tea and bread afterwards were just right, not too much. I have attached a photo of the shuttle timetable from Wulai terminal station to the facility. The shuttle looks like a van, and the facility's phone number is on the vehicle. I'm not sure if the shuttle runs on time.

The semi-open-air environment allows you to take a hot spring bath in the mountains and forests. It feels very comfortable. One hour is enough. After taking a hot spring bath, there are also simple thick toast and drinks. It is more affordable to buy coupons on Klook

Hot springs are great! From Taipei Main Station, take bus number 849 to Wulai Bus Terminal. Google Maps says it takes about 16 minutes on foot, but we arrived late and took a taxi from Wulai Bus Terminal. When getting in a taxi, instead of saying the name of the hot spring in English, say "Mingtang Hot Springs?" so they know where it is. I found out that there is a shuttle bus from the hot spring, but I didn't know how to get on it, so I only took it when I went later. The staff are friendly and nice, but you can be seen from outside when you are in the hot spring, so just be careful about that.

Went on a weeksay, which meant less people. A callable distance from town but there's a few shuttle bus. Unlimited public access is well worth it if you plan on staying more than an hour. free drink and snack were also a nice treat.

The outdoor hot spring is really great. The air is very circulated, the privacy is high, and the environment is very clean. It's really nice to enjoy the scenery of the mountain opposite while soaking in the hot spring. I will go there again next time I have free time.
