Hot springs

Had my first hot springs experience yesterday outside the town of Sansia, about a 40 minute drive southwest of Taipei. The hot springs were part of a resort and spa nestled in the hills outside the town. The springs had three hot pools fed from underground, plus a number of smaller pools featuring cold water or various "treatments" like ozone. The entry fee was about $10, but at a public hot springs or other non-resort location the prices are lower. Very relaxing to sit in the pools, look up at the sky, and let the stress melt away. There are hot springs all over Taiwan and I look forward to check out some others.
