Nestled within serene mountain forests, Yangmingshan Tianlai Hot Spring Resort

Those who love hot spring bathing surely know that in the direction from Yangmingshan toward Jinshan, there lies a vast paradise that combines a variety of indoor and outdoor facilities. Unlike traditional hot spring hotels, winter is the peak season here. But at Tianlai, it’s a great destination all year round.

Covering an area of about 600 pyeong, Tianlai Hot Spring Resort is situated beside the Yangjin Highway. Just beyond Yangmingshan National Park, you’ll spot a path heading toward Tianlai. After a short walk up, you’ll arrive right at the resort’s main gate. The first things you’ll see are the Crystal Pavilion and the European-Style Pavilion, offering distinctly different atmospheres for guests to choose from. On the other side of the SPA Water World is the Japanese-Style Hot Spring Suite building, which not only boasts top-tier views but is also perfect for family trips.

Strolling through Tianlai, you can feel the closeness to nature. Look up and you’ll see mountains all around. Even on cloudy days, there’s a subtle beauty in the misty haze, set against the expansive greenery—truly refreshing to the soul. The most eye-catching feature is the outdoor SPA water park, which features a full range of spa treatments, traditional Chinese herbal steam baths, massage beds, and, of course, waterslides and play pools loved by both adults and children, making it one of Tianlai’s most popular attractions.

Next to the hotel lobby is the Crystal Pavilion, which has only 10 rooms and is often fully booked in winter. Each room is exquisitely comfortable, with an in-room hot spring tub where you can soak for as long as you like. The view outside the glass window is delightful, making it a favorite room type for couples.

The main building of Tianlai Resort is the European-Style Pavilion. The first floor houses a self-service restaurant and the hotel lobby, while the upper floors contain European-style guest rooms and standard hotel amenities. From the seating area of the restaurant to the views, you can feel a strong Western-style ambiance. The design of the guest rooms is particularly appealing to women, with ceilings that resemble cute little chapels found abroad. There are double rooms, triple rooms, and quadruple rooms to choose from.
