It’s getting colder this year—could it actually be snowing on Yangmingshan? To create a festive Christmas atmosphere, Yangmingshan hot spring operators have introduced artificial snow machines, letting romantic flakes drift down over the mountainous hot spring area. This makes the overseas-only experience of “soaking in hot springs while admiring snow” a reality, as if stepping into a winter fairy tale.

Christmas and New Year’s Eve events are just around the corner. If you’d rather avoid crowded parties, head up to Yangmingshan for a hot spring soak and enjoy the blissful white Christmas Eve scene from a winter love story. Tianlai Resort is hosting a series of events from Christmas to New Year’s, featuring a rich holiday welcome feast with international cuisines to satisfy every traveler’s appetite. Angelic caroling and Christmas celebrations will cap off the joyful season perfectly.

During the New Year’s period on December 31 and January 1, the resort will hold various fun competitions with prizes worth hundreds of thousands NT dollars in total, including a grand prize of a European-style double room stay voucher. During the countdown, a giant screen will broadcast the Taipei celebration live, keeping the festive atmosphere synced in real time. Later, the resort will also put on a spectacular fireworks show. Under the starry sky of sparkling lights, let the joy extend all the way into 2011 (the 100th year of the Republic of China)!
