四季溫泉會館 — Hotel in Taichung

It's a very basic and traditional local hotspring 汤屋。 Not upgraded for years. Could be Due to Covid and avoidance of insects fest; they had provided mainly water and DIY green tea bags & instant granules coffee drinks. The food stall only sells instant cup noodle and nothing else (not even nuts nor chips) The room is spacious, DIY hot and cold tubs need a little time to fill and adjustments according own preferences. Water with very little sulfuric smell, very little feel of glaze on body too. Some what wondering the authenticity of the water source...🤔

Even the congee was watery like soup instead of porridge (you'd think the kitchen could get that right, at least?). Oh well, the bed and linens were comfortable for a good night's...

Only 1:20 hours away from Taichung we spent 2 hours and 400NTD each for my wife and me at a nicely done outdoor hot spring, part of the Four Season hotel in Guguan. Staff was friendly and even spoke a little English explaining and showing us the many little baths and pools spread over three levels.||||As of this writing the hotel underwent some constructions, but the noise was bearable and didn't interrupt the experience too much.
