Taipei is surrounded by some of the most famous hotsprings on Taiwan, which are Beitou (北投), Yangmingshan (陽明山) and Wulai (烏來).
The different springs vary in quality and (positive) characteristics. Some hot springs on Yangmingshan are famous for the high content of sulphur. Which seems to be very good for the human skin, yet whoever had the chance to take a breath in a place full of sulphur would not want to go there again. And this terrible smell also remains noticeable on the skin for quite some time.

The hot spring bathing can be down in one of the many natural springs, outside and under the sky or in the hot spring resorts, with hotel. The best way is then, to book a room, where you have your own access to the hot spring water in your bathtub and the maximum of privacy.
Bathing is great but...

The atmosphere created by the hot water let`s you think of your experiences in a Finnish Sauna. And when you sit deep soaked in the hot water all your worries and the daily stress will be boiled away.
