The “2014 Taiwan Hot Springs – Hot Spring & Gourmet Carnival” officially kicked off in early October 2014 at the Jianshi Hot Spring area in Hsinchu County. The event runs until January 30, 2015, and visitors looking to soak in hot springs and win great prizes absolutely must not miss this event.

The “2014 Taiwan Hot Springs – Hot Spring & Gourmet Carnival” is an integrated marketing campaign that brings together hot spring operators, gourmet food, and in-depth travel information from across Taiwan. Popular TV hostess Sasa and voice-over king Ah Song, who were spokespeople last year, are once again representing the Taiwan Hot Spring Gourmet Carnival. This time, the duo performs a time-travel skit at the hot spring site, with Sasa unable to resist the allure of Jianshi’s premium hot springs and jumping straight into the pool for a soak. Additionally, a variety of great deals await during the event period – visitors who come to soak in the hot springs will have the chance to win round-trip air tickets for two to Osaka.

This year’s event integrates information from over 180 businesses that have obtained the “Hot Spring Label” certification, along with special lodgings and restaurants, and offers a range of promotional measures. A “Good Fortune Passport” has been created, which can be picked up for free at tourism service centers across Taiwan. Consumers who participate in the event and spend NT$199 or more at “Hot Spring Label” certified shops can enter a lucky draw simply by submitting their receipts.

During the autumn and winter season, why not plan a 2-day-1-night hot spring trip to experience Taiwan’s wonderful hot springs and gourmet food, while keeping the bonds between family and friends warm.
