Brand-new open-air hot spring at Tien Lai — seeking creative and trendy bath fans

Tired of traditional ways of soaking in hot springs? Are Japanese onsen, mountain stream baths, or public baths starting to feel dull and uninspiring? Yangmingshan Tien Lai Resort is aiming to boost the popularity of the national hot spring industry and is specially calling on netizens to submit KUSO-style (humorous and satirical) creative hot spring bathing methods. The resort encourages the public to make the most of their hot spring tubs to add more fun to the experience. Since the launch of the event, over a thousand people have joined in, with submissions including the hottest trends such as riding the “Gangnam Style” horse dance in the bath or enjoying hot pot while soaking. These unconventional bathing ideas may just set a new trend at the brand-new open-air hot spring at Yangmingshan Tien Lai Resort, which opens on October 10.

Yangmingshan Tien Lai Resort stated that most hot spring hotels tend to emphasize Japanese aesthetics or Zen styles, and some urban hot spring inns even only offer views of the street or walls while you soak. Now, Tien Lai has created a brand-new open-air hot spring space designed with aesthetics by renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Takamatsu, blending the lush green mountain ridges of Yangmingshan with the layered lattice design of the new hot spring area into a naturally artistic setting. This will lead a new fashionable trend in hot spring bathing. Coinciding with the resort’s 15th anniversary, a fan appreciation campaign is being held. Simply like the Tien Lai Resort Facebook page and share your most KUSO hot spring bathing idea to be entered to win a laptop, gift cards from popular coffee shops, convenience store vouchers, and more. Additionally, over a hundred prizes worth a total of over NT$100,000 will be given away, including Tien Lai European-style double room stay certificates, Tien Lai herbal-scented bath sets, and imported red wine.

In addition, creative bathing masters selected by the organizers may also have the chance to be invited as VIP guests for the grand opening group of Tien Lai’s new open-air hot spring. Whether you want to dance Gangnam Style horse moves in the bath or humorously boil hot spring eggs while soaking, these ideas can all come true in the brand-new open-air hot spring at Tien Lai Resort this October. You can even help lead a new hot spring bathing trend together with Yangmingshan Tien Lai Resort.
