Richly nostalgic Oriental charm ~ Red Leaf Hot Spring Inn
Text / Compiled and reported by the Scenic Spots Home Editorial Department
The inn was once a police sanatorium during the Japanese colonial period, and after several changes in ownership, it has been run by the Lü family to this day. It still retains the appearance of Japanese architecture from over sixty years ago, with little major alteration, exuding a strong Oriental vibe. The most classic feature is the hot spring bathtub in the bathhouse, inlaid with round tiles, radiating a retro charm. Walking along the wooden Japanese-style corridors feels like stepping through a time tunnel back to old Taiwan before retrocession.
This hot spring was discovered as early as the 8th year of the Republic of China (1919), making it one of the earliest and most natural spring sources, and can be called a “platinum-grade beauty hot spring.” (Image provided / Monochrome Editing Department)
Originally the residence of senior police officers during the Japanese colonial period, it was later developed and converted into the Red Leaf Hot Spring Inn, with the Japanese-style architecture well preserved. (Image provided / Monochrome Editing Department)
