Beat the Heatwave at Tiansai Spring Water World for a Cool Summer Escape

With Taiwan experiencing record-breaking high temperatures and heat indexes soaring across the country, Tiansai Retreat in Yangmingshan has launched various cool summer packages. Escape the crowded music festivals and highway traffic jams, and invite everyone to Yangmingshan for a summer retreat — get close to nature in northern Taiwan, dissipating the sweltering heat of summer. In addition to the summer package “Summer Splash Staycation” which includes one night’s stay with three meals, it also connects with the hidden hiking and river-tracing spots along Laomei Creek, allowing adventure-loving visitors to enjoy a refreshing and thrilling water activity right in Taipei.

River-tracing has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in recent years and serves as a great way to avoid heatstroke. Not only does it allow you to enjoy forest ecology and the coolness of mountain streams, but its allure lies in the refreshing thrill after conquering challenges. Last year, Tiansai Retreat’s icefall river-tracing was met with an enthusiastic response. This year, Tiansai has expanded the tracing locations to Laomei Creek, a hidden gem for river-tracing in northern Taiwan, featuring multiple water currents where you can climb waterfalls and swim across deep pools. This has thrilled many groups and river-tracing enthusiasts. Participants have noted that river-tracing enhances team bonding, offers the exhilarating rush of icy waterfalls, and stimulates creativity. The experience also includes upstream swims and floating, giving beginners a taste of the cool thrill of mountain streams. After the activity, guests can relax in the resort’s hot springs, soothing tired muscles quickly. Ideal for family and friends looking to escape the summer heat together.

To welcome the summer season, Tiansai Retreat utilizes advanced technology to lower the temperature of its open-air hot springs, introducing this summer’s most sought-after attractions: Crystal Ice Hot Springs and the indoor 18°C Spa Water World. There's also a two-story-high waterslide, making it the largest spring water amusement park in northern Taiwan for both adults and children. Moreover, travelers don’t have to worry about traffic — Tiansai guests can purchase an exclusive Royal Bus Pass, traveling from Taipei Main Station through Zhongshan North Road, various scenic spots in Yangmingshan, all the way to Jinshan Old Street. With 32 daily departures and unlimited rides to 64 attractions, guests can freely explore all of Yangmingshan.

The heat and stickiness of seaside vacations pale in comparison to the coolness and refreshment found in the mountains. Currently the most inquired-about and popular online booking package, “Summer Splash Staycation” offers an all-inclusive experience of food, travel, accommodation, and activities. This includes hot spring rooms, the Spring Water SPA Water World, a mountain spring swimming pool, and access to the Royal Bus. On weekends, guests can even upgrade to enjoy an open-air BBQ with fresh seafood and meat, paired with ice-cold beer, under the evening breeze — all starting from just NT$3,163 per person. The “Summer Splash Staycation” combined with icefall river-tracing is definitely the ultimate anti-heatwave combo for all ages this summer.
