Experience Taiwan’s

Experience Taiwan’s Geothermal Wonderland at Guanziling Scenic Area 🌋🌲 Discover Guanziling, the heart of MUD hot spring magic in Tainan’s lush Baihe District! This region’s steamy pools and mud baths are a must for anyone chasing relaxation and a unique nature-meets-luxury experience. 🧖♂️ Recommended Route: Take Taiwan tourist shuttle number 33 from Chiayi HSR and drop off at the last stop (Lingding) surrounding are full of mud spring places you can choose. From there you can change to other buses to explore attraction around the area. ‼️Do NOTE! GuanZiLing is not tourist ready, hence many information are in mandarin. There are NO taxis as most locals drive or motorcycle. If you want to go I will suggest rent a car or motorcycle from Chiayi (if u have the relevant licence) or hire a taxi for the days u intend to stay, you have to speak to the taxi drivers stationed at HSR station if they are willingly to be “booked”. Or else, go on weekends as there are more public buses operating on weekends. All bus end last trip early about 3pm some 5pm. So it is a must to planned carefully as most buses are scheduled every 1 hourly only. Google works extremely well hence you can rely on it. ✨ Must-Do Experiences: Dip into the famous mud springs (Guanziling is one of the few places in Asia with natural mud hot springs); let yourself unwind with a soak surrounded by serene forest views. Explore the nearby hillside walking trails shaded by abundant trees—nature lovers, don’t miss inspecting the local flora up close! 📸 Top Photo Spots: Snap that “insta-worthy” shot in front of Guanziling Hotel against its modern architecture and vibrant outdoor cultural landscape. Capture moody scenes after rainfall, when the clouds and mist hug the hills for a magical backdrop. For sunny days, frame the tiled roofs and leafy trees with blue sky above. Another must visit is the 水火同源 (fire and water spring). The fire has been burning for 324 years and still going. 🌞 Practical Tips: Bring a raincoat—weather here changes quickly and umbrellas can get whisked away by mountain winds. Visit early for fewer crowds and peaceful springtime atmosphere. The mud springs can stain, so wear comfy, older clothes and flip-flops for easy clean-up after your soak. #tainan #guanziling #hotsprings #naturebeauty #traveltips

Fire and Water Cave

Water and Fire Origin is located in Guanziling. The sight of flames constantly emerging from the water defies the principle that water and fire cannot coexist, attracting many people to experience this wonder. This was a place we often visited as children. During the Spring Festival, our family went together again. 👍 #Guanziling #TainanAttractions #WaterandFireOrigin

Zhongshe flower market taichung

Bloom & Bliss at Zhongshe Flower Market Taichung 🌸✨ Stepping into Zhongshe Flower Market is like wandering through a rainbow—endless rows of blossoms, pastel dreamscapes, and props that are straight out of a storybook. Whether you're chasing romantic vibes or the perfect profile pic, this is Taichung's insta-famous floral wonderland! Recommended Route: Start by exploring with your camera ready—the sunflower maze and lavender field are show-stoppers. Head toward the Dutch windmill for whimsical shots, then weave through themed gardens dotted with vintage props and floral tunnels. Must-Do Experiences: Snap your photo at the swings among the flowers, get creative with piano set-ups, and don't miss the guided selfie spots marked for the best light. Visit the greenhouse for tropical blooms and enjoy seasonal flower picking from the market’s own beds. Top Photo Spots: The windmill, colorful floral tunnel, and swing set are "musts" for epic shots. Early morning is prime time for soft natural lighting—avoid harsh midday shadows in your pics! Practical Visiting Tips: Arrive as soon as doors open at 8 AM to beat both the crowd and the heat—trust me, after 11 AM you’ll be baking under the sun and it's easy to burn out after just over an hour. Slather on sunscreen, bring a hat, and consider a mini umbrella. Hydrate often (there’s a café for cold drinks), and pace yourself—the market sprawls! Key Precautions: The open fields offer little shade, so sun protection is essential. Weekends can get packed; if possible, aim for a weekday morning for the chillest vibes and best shots. #Taichung #FlowerMarket #Zhongshe #TravelTips #InstaWorthy
