Hot Spring activities in East Coast

Toyugi Hot Spring Resort & Spa
This resort sits a few kilometres down County Road 58東 on a large shelf above the river valley, giving it a private feel in the madhouse that is Chihpen. Facilities include a multipool complex, restaurant and cabins, should you wish to stay the night (from NT$3500). To get to the hotel look for the sign in English saying 'Journey to the East'.

Rueisui Hot Springs
The carbonated Rueisui hot springs were first opened by the Japanese in 1919. The water boasts a temperature of 48°C and is rich in iron, giving it a pale-brown colour and a slightly salty, rusty flavour (so we've heard). Many Taiwanese still believe that frequent bathing in the spring water increases a woman's chance of bearing a male child.
The hot-spring area is a few kilometres directly west of Rueisui town (on the other side of Hwy 9). As you drive down the highway there are English signs pointing to the area.

Hotel Royal Chihpen
A few kilometres past Toyugi, up a side road to the left, sits what many consider to be the finest hotel in Chihpen, with the swankiest pools.
