Strolling Through Aguascalientes: The Hot Springs Town
â Aguascalientes, a three-hour drive north of Guadalajara. Its name literally translates to "hot water." đ„ This compact town exudes the vibe of a southern Chinese town from twenty years ago: unfiltered car exhaust, bustling roadside shops, and local youth hanging around. đ§This city isn't particularly well-known in Chinese travel circlesâits most mentioned attraction is the National Museum of Death, tied to Mexicoâs famous Day of the Dead skeleton imagery. âšBut honestly? Iâve been, and itâs far less impressive than the local cultural museum just two blocks away. đTrue to its name, the hot springs here are fantastic. The colonial-era bathhouse in town has been converted into a charming public spa, with private rooms named after religious saintsâincluding one dedicated to San Francisco. đ„łThe cityâs San Marcos Park and Plaza are also highlightsâbeautiful spots where friendly locals might offer you a ride on their bikes. According to residents, the place gets even livelier in April, busier than Chinese New Year. #Mexico #CulturalTravel #SanMarcosPark
