Fantastic 5.0
beautiful, the second you step inside the park to get to the hot springs you can already tell you’ll have a good time, there’s free cubicles to place your stuff and the entry is very cheap, specially considering the fact that you can stay as long as you want, me and my friend met a very friendly taiwanese woman that drove us to the night market later to eat together. Very clean and i felt very safe, 100% recommend!!

My recent hot spring experience at the Hotel Mu Jiao Xi in Yilan was absolutely wonderful! The hotel environment was clean and comfortable, and the public hot spring area was spacious with a great variety of pools, all at a perfect temperature. After my soak, I felt completely relaxed, both physically and mentally. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite, and their detailed explanations made me feel right at home. Both the private hot spring rooms and the public facilities were very well-maintained, clean, and safe. It offers excellent value for money and is perfect for a relaxing getaway with family and friends. I will definitely visit again if I have the chance and will highly recommend it to my friends and relatives.

Great 4.0
Good and valuable. Klook should consider to show the real-time availability and let customers to book the time slot directly rather than ask customers to call for conforming availability. With this enhancement, it will increase the efficiency and avoid causing inconvenience when the customers do not have a Taiwan phone number

Soaking in a natural carbonated cold spring on a rainy day (like the Su'ao Cold Spring Park in Yilan) is a truly unique experience. Raindrops fall on the water, accompanied by the refreshing spring water, which maintains a constant temperature of 70-72°F (21-22°C) year-round, and bubbles envelop your skin. It's both romantic and relaxing. However, as temperatures are lower on rainy days, it's especially important to stay warm and monitor your physical condition.

Fantastic 5.0
The room is quite large and comes with a parking space. The air conditioning in the room is sufficiently cool, and there are no strange odors (such as mold). All necessary amenities are provided, including nice-smelling body wash from 'Sauba' and body lotion. The children's play area is not big, but it is enough for toddlers to play in. The only downside is that the hot spring tub is too large; it takes an hour to fill it up to eighty percent.

This was my first time purchasing this package. I called 20 minutes before arriving to check for availability, and then quickly headed over! The private room allowed for a relaxing hot spring experience and a chance to rest. 90 minutes was enough, but next time I'd like to try the 120-minute option!

Great! Experience: After Green Dance's meticulous improvements to its internal mosquito control measures and the upgrade of its toiletries, I was able to enjoy a hot spring experience that was more affordable than those in Greater Taipei, even with rising prices. It felt like great value for money, even with the drive there and back. Of course, I also have to thank some shopping websites for their partnerships, which allowed me to fully enjoy life and pursue health in the nude hot springs. While there are still many special offers available, you definitely have to come and support Green Dance!

We had a great time making scallion pancakes (note that the pink dough is actually dough infused with dragon fruit and not food coloring), picking/ washing scallions (although it was raining), and visiting the small animal farm (fed some deers, donkeys and sheep). Highly recommend this for young kids - although I must say adults will enjoy it just as much.

What to know before visiting Yilan

Discover Yilan County’s relaxed coastal draws

Yilan County is a laid-back destination known for outdoor and cultural experiences, with Zoos & aquariums, historical sites, events & shows and wellness offerings leading bookings. Demand peaks around January and drops through late summer, so the rhythm of the year swings between busy winter months and much quieter late-summer months.

When to visit for crowds, prices and atmosphere

Klook data shows January as the busiest month and August as the quietest. Prices peak in July and fall to their lowest in December according to Klook booking data, so the busiest month (January) doesn’t coincide with the priciest month (July) — demand and price diverge. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for December or the late-summer trough months; if you’re after peak-season atmosphere, visit in January when demand is highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers book activities about six days ahead on average, so there’s flexibility for shorter trips and spontaneous plans. If you’re travelling in January — the busiest month — consider locking in popular experiences earlier than usual; otherwise many activities can be arranged a few days before you go via Klook.
