The Place Tainan Tainan
Old window frames, metal doors, and signboards line the lanes. People sit and talk by temple forecourts while the shop next door carries on with business; history lives inside these ordinary routines. Turn from one lane into another and the city reveals itself detail by detail.

Hotel Royal ChihpenChihpen Hot Spring, Taitung
South of Taitung City, the mountains draw nearer. Forest and river shape the familiar landscape of Chihpen. The hills are pale in the morning, afternoon light settles into the trees, and the valley grows quiet at night.

SHUTTLE｜Round-trip shuttle from Taitung / Chihpen Station or Taitung Airport
Hotel Royal BeitouBeitou Hot Spring, Taipei
As the MRT rolls into Beitou, the blocks grow less dense. Beitou Creek runs past parks, bathhouses, and hot-spring hotels; hills rise behind the streets, and now and then the air carries a trace of sulfur.
