One of the best hot springs. We stayed in one of the tatami rooms. It's a simple functional and most comfortable bed space - rid of anything fancy. Best to call them to make bookings.
Our journey from Taipei Main Station. Took a TRA . it's a 3-hr journey to Ruisui. On arrival we should have eaten something before getting a taxi to the hot springs, or bought some food to bring with us. We arrived after dinner hours but the lady was nice to offer to cook us dinner- fried rice. We ordered a taxi from 7-11 kiosk. Super convenient. The taxi journey was about 20 mins, costs 250 NTD.
The hots springs is surrounded by nature. There are two pools on the outdoors. When you sit in the pools you see the mountains right in front of you. The most relaxing experience.
We walked up the hill following a road next to the stream. And all along the way you'll find some of the most astonishingly beautiful slates.
The ladies who run the place are friendly and most helpful responding to our minimal Chinese! They even took our lunch orders and helped made the order and picked them up for us. We had some sumptuous biantan - bento.
