Miaoli

smooth travel from Taipei to Taichung~ we get to visit the Capoo House and Foamcat Cafe. Enjoyed Miyahara and Old Taichung Station which also has another Foamcat Cafe. We really enjoyed our day trip!

I had fun exploring Southern Taiwan with this 3 day pass. Very easy to use, it comes with a booklet that you'll get from the HSR counter. You can book your HSR in advance through the website, can even change your time of departure when you go to the counter. My accomodation is in Taipei and the day trips in Taichung and Tainan was just a breeze. HSR also provides free shuttle bus between HSR station to the main city, just research for the bus number. You have to go through the staff at the gates to pass through, they will inspect the booklet. I'll comeback to explore more of South Taiwan!

Our driver arrived 15 minutes early. Our driver, 小楊 (Yang), always helped us get in and out of the car, which we really appreciated. I also forgot to include two locations in the Changhua itinerary I sent beforehand, but he accommodated them very well without any issue. He even recommended a really delicious rou bao (肉包) near Lukang Longshan Temple—after tasting it, we ended up buying a whole box to eat at the hotel. Communication via LINE was smooth and easy. He also played great music during the drive; I honestly wish I knew his playlist. We had a very pleasant and comfortable drive to and from Lukang. Highly recommended.

The driver was on time, courteous, and polite! Since public transportation isn't great in Chiayi, I tried a chartered car for the first time to explore. The entire trip was comfortable and convenient. I'm so glad I booked a car for my Korean family's visit to Taiwan! 🫶🏻

This spacious public nude hot spring is becoming more popular as the weather gets colder. It's well-maintained and clean, making it worth the drive for people like me coming from Hsinchu, and even from Taichung. Staying overnight is a bit pricey, so a day trip for the hot spring is a great and affordable option.

This is my first time in Miaoli. I just looked online to see what's fun nearby, and Klook sells hot spring vouchers, so I came to try it out. The facilities are okay, it's just that the hotel is a bit old, but many Japanese hot spring hotels are old but have their own unique flavor.

Awesome, the facilities are new, and the onsen's interior is also new. There's even a quick checkout button. The downside is that you have to cross a suspension bridge to get there, which is a bit scary. If you drive, you can go around, but it seems like the drive is farther~

The environment is pristine, and the hot spring quality is excellent. It's a great place for a hot spring bath, especially since I'm prone to muscle aches, pains, and stiffness. After soaking, my whole body feels relaxed and my mood is lifted. Whether soaking alone or with family, it's a great experience. We really need to set aside some time and space for ourselves in life to have the energy and motivation to face the future. Keep going! I believe I can live a better and more comfortable life.

The Yunshui Hot Spring Resort in Miaoli boasts a tranquil environment. The hot spring water is comfortable and non-irritating. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the accommodation area is quiet and relaxing. The open-air hot spring pools offer nice views, perfect for slow enjoyment. The service staff are friendly, and the overall value for money is good, making it suitable for vacations and relaxation.
