2007-07-18 20:23. Went to try the hot-Spring water area, which had series of gradually hot to cold wading and waist high pool areas.

2007-07-18 23:54. Room, getting to ZZZ

It was the best hot-Spring hotel, stayed for two nights. The Taiwan Tourism sign of approval was seen at this hotel.

Crazy hard to plot this mountain hotel, but yahoo tw map seems to have it.

Yahoo map seemed consistent with the bad map and first hand experience- it seemed deep in the mountains.

Horrible hotel map just indicates 64.5 Km more from a reference point

2007-07-19 20:29. Getting ready to head to the hot Spring area.

2007-07-19 22:09. Pool, water area closed for day, returned to room for shower.

We were originally supposed to be discussing plans for our bus' end-of-tour performance. Instead, we just enjoyed the hot Spring area. Conversation and clapping games in the hot sitting and wading areas, splashed, formed and dragged people in human-link-trains at the waist-high cold pool.

We changed our minds about Asian bathing when saw someone step right into what we had thought was the clean water trough. Decided to wash again with proper showers back in our room.
