Sunshine Hot Spring B&B

Eastern Taiwan & Taroko National Park


Low-key but contemporary hot-spring hotel where the 'golden' mineral water is piped to your private walk-in tub, or you can use the small communal pool in the garden.

The stylishly sparse reception area has the feel of a coffee shop, but off-peak it isn't always manned so it can pay to organise your arrival time in advance. A mountain hiking trail up Hutoushan starts just behind, near the parking area.
