New Taipei City Winter Hot Spring Food Festival: "Soak in a Good Bath, Win Great Prizes"

As winter gradually approaches, operators in several major hot spring areas of Taiwan, having passed the long off-season of summer nights, are now ready to welcome this year’s new wave of hot spring bathing enthusiasm. Among them, the New Taipei City Government and local hot spring operators are jointly holding the “2015 New Taipei City Hot Spring Food Festival”, hoping to invigorate New Taipei City’s winter tourism boom through ultra-low bathing discounts and a stamp-collecting game.

The New Taipei City Government Tourism and Travel Department said that the Wulai and Jinshan-Wanli hot spring areas of New Taipei City are only a short 20- to 40-minute drive from the Greater Taipei metropolis, reachable in the blink of an eye. They are very suitable for office workers toiling in the city to arrange to go together after work, using a hot spring soak to change their mood and relax and relieve stress. Under the slightly chilly night sky, in the fresh air, and in the pure spring water, let tense emotions completely relax and re-store energy to meet the next day’s work challenges!

Therefore, the New Taipei City Government and hot spring operators, in this year’s hot spring food season, jointly launched multiple activities such as the “Starlight Warm Spring Weekday Nighttime Bathing Killer Discount,” the “Limited Warm-Heart Value Pack,” and the “New Taipei Mountain-Sea Hot Spring Grand Stamp Rally.” In addition to enjoying the low-price discounts offered by hot spring operators, spending NT$250 or more at designated stores also gives you a chance to win prizes such as a Star Cruises two-person trip, an iPhone 6s 64G, and a 50-inch LCD TV.

Taking Old Jinshan Governor Hot Spring as an example, the two-person hot spring room and 2 set meals they offer cost only NT$1,386 for two people participating in the activity (original price NT$1,686), so the cost of bathing plus food for one person is less than NT$700.

Starlight Warm Spring Activity Project Description

As long as the public, after work from Monday to Thursday, goes to the designated 15 hot spring operators to enjoy a warm soak and good food, they can enjoy a discount of as low as 45% off (detailed description of the discount plan).
