Fantastic 5.0
The bathhouse has separate areas for resting, toilets, hand washing/grooming, showers, and hot spring soaking. There are hot and cold pools available. The overall tidiness is excellent. However, it's quite slippery, so wearing slippers is safer. It took a long time to dry my hair; upgrading the hair dryers to higher quality ones would be even better.

Parking: There's ample parking space; you'll need to park in the outdoor plaza and then walk in. Environment: Clean and beautiful, it's been recently renovated. The bathroom mirrors and hair dryers are good. Facilities: There are four types of hot springs with different temperatures and medicinal baths, plus a rock bath room that was hotter than I expected. There's also a steam room and a lounge area. Other: Free hot tea is available, but unfortunately, the oden wasn't open (probably only on weekends). Crowds: I went the night before a long weekend, so there weren't many people, which made it very comfortable and quiet.

APR. 04, 2026 ♨️ Zhuxiangyuan Urn Chicken ✖️ Guanziling Fuyeh Hot Spring Resort
The forecast said there would be 100% rain across Taiwan on April 4th, so of course, our itinerary had to be 'dynamically adjusted'! 😂
Arriving at Guanziling, it was truly hard to tell the difference between the rain and the hot spring. Although the temperature was a bit low, and I couldn't help but grumble, 'I always catch a cold when I go out during long holidays,' seeing the children's eager eyes, the adults decided to go all out! It's all about having fun! The adults each retreated into the Fuyeh Hot Spring Resort's indoor hot springs. Wow, that heat, that mud, it was truly so comfortable and enjoyable! We instantly forgot all about the damp and cold. ♨️
Afterward, we were incredibly lucky! We had mentally prepared ourselves to wait in line for 'Zhuxiangyuan Urn Chicken,' but we were able to be seated immediately without any wait at all! 🎉 Every dish was delicious, and after soaking in the hot springs and eating chicken, these little 'foremen' were full of energy again! Today, with thunderstorms across Taiwan ⛈️, ended perfectly!

This hot spring room offers great value for money. There's no extra charge on holidays, and you usually don't have to wait long to get a room. It has all the necessary amenities, including bottled water, and there's also a water dispenser outside the room. Basic shower gel and shampoo are provided, and there's even body lotion available where you dry your hair, which is a very thoughtful touch!

I've always used Klook for purchases because it's so convenient and quick to use. I frequently visit this hot spring establishment, and the staff at the counter are very friendly and thoughtful. I love this hot spring the most; the water is very concentrated. I will continue to come to this hot spring establishment!

It's very relaxing to apply a face mask while soaking alone, but the soundproofing in the private hot spring room isn't great, likely for ventilation to prevent dampness. I recommend bringing your own hairdryer. An hour and a half is more than enough time, and parking is convenient.

This special exhibition showcases approximately 280 artifacts from the British Museum's collection, making it the largest of its kind ever held in Taiwan. The exhibition focuses on the multifaceted roles of the 'Pharaoh' (god, ruler, warrior).
Stunning Visuals and Spatial Experience:
Fist of the Colossal Statue of Ramesses II: Weighing 1.5 tons, this single fist alone gives a sense of the grandeur of the original statue (approximately 65 feet tall). To accommodate Taiwan's seismic activity, the museum specially reinforced the exhibition hall structure and steel base, making its weight incredibly impressive to see in person.
Seated Statue of Seti II: This is the main visual for the exhibition. The curator specifically recommends observing the statue's 'knees,' where the artisans' detailed depiction of bone and muscle remains remarkably clear and lifelike even after 3,000 years.
Temple Immersion Experience: The exhibition space uses light and shadow walls to depict the changing light in a temple from sunrise to sunset, accompanied by low-frequency sound waves, creating a powerful sense of ritual.
Exquisite Small Artifacts: In addition to the colossal stone sculptures, tiny gold amulets, rings, and intricate papyrus documents (such as fragments recording the Battle of Kadesh) also demonstrate the pinnacle of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship.
Interactive Highlight: The exhibition features an interactive area where you can enter your English name on a tablet, and the system will convert it into a personalized 'Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic' name cartouche.

It's strange that this place isn't better known among Koreans, as the active experiences and performances provide things to see all day long. The scale of the cafe and performance hall, converted from a former sugar factory, is surprisingly large, and there are so many programs for adults and children to experience. You could stay here all day and still not have enough time.

The air conditioning is very cool. Walking from Hall 1 to Hall 5, you can gain a lot of knowledge by browsing slowly, and there are interactive mini-games to play. The admission ticket is not expensive, making it a great attraction to visit regardless of whether it's sunny or rainy.
