The "Banquet of Promotion" was once a dish reserved for court officials who were promoted, but now you can enjoy it at Shamao Mountain's hot spring restaurants. With a variety of seafood, Dongpo pork, and roasted meats, this once-luxurious feast for newly appointed scholars or officials is being recreated here. During the carnival, tables are offered at a 25% discount, and limited thousand-yuan meal vouchers are slashed to just 300 yuan.

The Shamao Mountain Hot Spring area has a long history. As early as the Japanese colonial period, it was a sulfur mining site, leaving behind many mining relics and natural hot springs. It draws crowds of visitors during the peak autumn and winter seasons, while summer nights offer refreshing hot spring experiences. The area caters to budget travelers, with hot spring rooms priced at 600 yuan per session and public pools from 150 to 250 yuan. Even on non-holidays, there are plenty of visitors. The acidic sulfur springs have temperatures ranging from 56 to 80 degrees Celsius, and the steamy scenery of the valley is also quite unique.
