hi anyone try the hot spring b4 ? every hotspring oso mixed ?

I tried hotspring at Spring City Resort, Beitou. Private room cost NT600/pax. Prefer the outdoor 1 at the other resort but the time i reached there heavy rain so cancel plan. If u dont mind, u can try public hotspring, very cheap.

Anyone stay in Won Star Hotel before?

I try to book for Cityinn, but they said fully booked =.=
As recommend from the first pages, I am wondering how is Won Star Hotel (萬事達旅店)...

public hotspring is separate sex one ?

I just went to Taipei at March. Here to share the review of the accommodation which I've stayed in Taipei.


凯丽大旅社 (I suppose the name is Carry Inn) - http://store.bluezz.tw/c.php?id=3239
Review: Just a normal inn. But it's clean and cheap. The room has those basic facilities, like: TV, aircon, bath tub, hair dryer, coffee, toiletries and even condom. MRT station (C.K.S Memorial Hall Station) is just 3 mins walk. I got a rate of NTD1080 per night. Weekdays and weekend will be same price.



内江商旅 (Nei Jiang Hotel) - http://www.neijiang-hotel.com.tw/
Review: Nice environment, Clean and Cheap. Environment is a lot better than Carry Inn. Located at XiMenDing. The room has those basic facilities, like: TV, aircon, hair dryer, coffee, fridge, kettle, toiletries and condom too. (I wonder why each room in Taiwan provide condoms).The only thing I don't really like is the air-con is centralized. I couldn't adjust the temperature to what I want. MRT station (Xi Men Station) is just 5 mins walk away. Got promotion rate of NTD1350 per night, inclusive of breakfast. (Just sandwiches and drinks). Weekend price will be slightly higher than weekdays.
**Sorry forgot to take photo of this hotel, you may see more in their website**


薇阁汽车旅馆（大直）(We-Go Motel in DaZhi) - http://www.we-go.com.tw/dazhi/index.aspx
Review: A very special theme-based cozy motel. Price is not cheap but there is a lot of fun in the room. The rooms are designed by some local designer. Facilities included KTV, Jakuzzi, Steam Bath... It's meant to be a couple room as they provided blue film, condoms and even lubricant. The toiletries are separate for guys and gals. They have all those standard stuffs, shaver, even hair gel for guys. While they provide women shaver, pad, panty liner, hair clip for gals. My room price is NTD3800 per night. Price is depending what size of room you are getting. Weekend rates will be higher than weekdays. It's recommended to go on weekdays and they also can rent in hours only.






风之谷民宿（九份） (Feng Zhi Gu in Jiu Fen) - http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/fongigu/
Review: A very comfortable and warm home-stay. The owner is very nice and passion. The place is like heaven. Can see both sea view and mountain view. It really gives me a feel as staying in my home. Feng Zhi Gu has only 3 rooms. 1 small and 2 big. Small room has 1 twin bed while big room has 2 twin beds. I got the small room for NTD2500.

heard from local, Wu Lai 乌来 has hotspring too. And the hotspring there is different from beitou. Beitou hotspring has Sulfur smell but WuLai hotspring doesn't. However, WuLai doesn't have much public transport there, you may need to take a taxi or rent a van.

Good Sharing!! A good one

you could take mrt to Sindian station and switch to local bus for about 30-40minutes drive up the mountain for about NTD40 (bus 1601..will make a full update on wulai day trip soon when im well.). you could also take tht bus all the way from Taipei Main Station. Price should be less than RM10 for 1.5 hrs ride. there's a tourist information centre at Sindian MRT station itself.

alternatively, take MRT till Sindian station and you could take the cab up if you're not used to the winding/'curvy' road of the mountains for NTD100 per pax.

public transport is very convenient in Taiwan and it's reachable to almost everywhere. but at the mean time, Alishan is not accessible via their TRA because the rail was damaged during the recent quake.

何處是臺北成衣批發的中心，相信每人心中的第一個反應都是「五分埔」。有數百家批發店，聚集於松山火車站附近。其命名之由來在清朝時，五分埔是臺灣原住民平埔族活動的範圍，而後由何、周、沈、杜、李5戶人家，向平埔族人買下這塊地開墾，並以五分埔為庄名。臺灣半個世紀來的經濟發展，從貧困到不分日夜工作至富裕，就如同五分埔的發展史。中南部北上謀生的民眾，群聚於五分埔，將外銷成衣餘下的零碎或滯銷布料，簡單加工接綴成內衣褲、童裝或粗製的工作服，供路邊攤及零售店販賣，逐漸發展打響五分埔的名號。現在，數百家的成衣業者在此聚集，貨源來自全省，甚至遠從港、泰、韓、新加坡等地區進口來臺。價廉的服飾吸引小盤商來批發、零售，因款式眾多、剪裁流行，不少年輕族群也前來血拼，隨個人任意搭配，創造引人目光的時尚風格。當購物慾望出現，卻預算不足或不想荷包大失血時，最適合的地方就是五分埔，值得一提的是，殺價也是這裡常見的購物現象，與老闆的價碼拉鋸戰，更添採買的快感！

捷運站名： 後山埤站1號出口直走至中坡北路永吉路口左前方 （I use this route and short distance of walking, about 5-8 minutes in front)
