◎ Dongpu Hot Springs
Dongpu Hot Springs is a weak alkaline carbonated spring that can be both bathed in and consumed, offering significant benefits for health and beauty. Soaking in an open-air hot spring helps calm the mind, allowing you to forget all stress and escape the hustle and bustle. As winter arrives, head to Dongpu to soak in this weak alkaline carbonated spring, warming your entire body and shaking off the fatigue built up over daily life.

Located upstream of the Taiji Gorge, surrounded by towering mountains and offering a vast view. The middle section of the suspension bridge is made of reinforced transparent glass, challenging travelers’ visual limits and delivering a thrilling experience of walking high above the ground.

◎ Shuili Snake Kiln
Visit Taiwan’s oldest, most traditional, and post-921 earthquake reborn wood-fired kiln, and experience its grassroots stories and legendary journey. Any kiln built along the slope of a hill and shaped like a snake is called a snake kiln, but the Shuili Snake Kiln, promoted tirelessly by its current third-generation owner Lin Guorong, is the most famous and a must-visit spot in Shuili. Major hotels in Taiwan such as the Lalu Resort and Hotel Royal Beitou also compete to use the pottery produced by the Snake Kiln. It’s even more honorable that the Shuili Snake Kiln has officially joined UNESCO and gained worldwide fame.
