Hot Spring Heaven Taiwan

After about 5 hours of waling around Yangmingshan Mountain and feeling slightly cold and completely drenched from the rainfall. Georg final treat was to take us to a hidden secret hot spring which a friend of his called Lars had found 7 years ago.

Rather nice engraving on stone.

The decent to the hot spring was really cool, because the was so much steam from the hot spring it created a very nice atmosphere.

The decent.

Jonny behind the foliage in the red jacket taking a photo, he slogged this huge Digital SLR Canon around with him all day and then proceeded to only take handle of shots, quite funny and he is on the way to becoming a full Taiwanese holiday maker. But you can see his photos here.

Really nice water full which was cold water and a great way to cool of after a bit of hot spring bathing.

Exfoliating.

Model looks.

I was told that the hot spring had been expanded by the locals, unfortunately they had uses bags filled with sand rather than natural stone and plastic pipes, which I felt was a shame as we were surround by forest of bamboo!

Lovely.

The were about 4-5 hot spring pools all at different temperatures and about the size of Ping Pong tables so quite big for a few people. The photo below should is actually quite close to where the hot spring is.

Last of the geysers.
