Taitung used to be the backcountry of Taiwan, but now it's the island’s backyard paradise. With soaring mountain ranges meeting azure seas and skies, and home to over six indigenous tribes, its rich natural environment, pristine springs, and vibrant cultural vibe make up the greatest charm and appeal of Taitung. Located next to the Zhiben Hot Springs, the Yayawang Hot Spring Resort is nestled among the peaks, offering a resort experience reminiscent of a South Pacific island getaway. “Yaya” means chieftain in the Puyuma language, exuding a bold and unrestrained aesthetic. The resort features three main highlights: camping, swimming, and hot spring SPA. Its five-star camping area combined with clean and elegant guest rooms allows visitors to immerse themselves in nature, making it a truly enchanting hidden gem for a vacation.
