Taichung Military Kindred Village Museum: A Light Break, a Quiet Encounter of History and Lanterns

#SeptemberTravelSupport This is one of Taiwan's oldest urban parks, built during the Japanese colonial period. Inside, you'll find artificial ponds, pavilions, and impressive traditional architecture with arched stone pillars. The murals and lanterns pictured here are perfect for festivals and special exhibitions in this historic space. 😊 Bright and colorful lanterns perched atop the old stone pillars evoke a sense of time and space, while also adding a warm ambiance. During the day, sunlight gently filters through the wooden ceiling, and the harmonious colors of the lanterns on the walls create a visual feast. It's the perfect space for a stroll or a photo shoot. The park is filled with artificial lakes, small bridges, and traditional pavilions, making even a stroll a truly relaxing experience. Sitting on a bench and taking a moment to relax, away from the city noise, you'll feel as if you've stepped into a different era. During the Lantern Festival held every spring, the park becomes even more magical with lanterns and lights. If you visit at the right time, don't miss the transformation! This is a place where the expression "a space where history is weighty and emotion quietly approaches" is no exaggeration. If you're looking for a brief respite from your city tour or want to find a moment more deeply memorable than a single photograph, I highly recommend visiting Taichung Park.

Experience Taiwan’s Geothermal Wonderland at Guanziling Scenic Area 🌋🌲 Discover Guanziling, the heart of MUD hot spring magic in Tainan’s lush Baihe District! This region’s steamy pools and mud baths are a must for anyone chasing relaxation and a unique nature-meets-luxury experience. 🧖♂️ Recommended Route: Take Taiwan tourist shuttle number 33 from Chiayi HSR and drop off at the last stop (Lingding) surrounding are full of mud spring places you can choose. From there you can change to other buses to explore attraction around the area. ‼️Do NOTE! GuanZiLing is not tourist ready, hence many information are in mandarin. There are NO taxis as most locals drive or motorcycle. If you want to go I will suggest rent a car or motorcycle from Chiayi (if u have the relevant licence) or hire a taxi for the days u intend to stay, you have to speak to the taxi drivers stationed at HSR station if they are willingly to be “booked”. Or else, go on weekends as there are more public buses operating on weekends. All bus end last trip early about 3pm some 5pm. So it is a must to planned carefully as most buses are scheduled every 1 hourly only. Google works extremely well hence you can rely on it. ✨ Must-Do Experiences: Dip into the famous mud springs (Guanziling is one of the few places in Asia with natural mud hot springs); let yourself unwind with a soak surrounded by serene forest views. Explore the nearby hillside walking trails shaded by abundant trees—nature lovers, don’t miss inspecting the local flora up close! 📸 Top Photo Spots: Snap that “insta-worthy” shot in front of Guanziling Hotel against its modern architecture and vibrant outdoor cultural landscape. Capture moody scenes after rainfall, when the clouds and mist hug the hills for a magical backdrop. For sunny days, frame the tiled roofs and leafy trees with blue sky above. Another must visit is the 水火同源 (fire and water spring). The fire has been burning for 324 years and still going. 🌞 Practical Tips: Bring a raincoat—weather here changes quickly and umbrellas can get whisked away by mountain winds. Visit early for fewer crowds and peaceful springtime atmosphere. The mud springs can stain, so wear comfy, older clothes and flip-flops for easy clean-up after your soak. #Tainan #Guanziling #HotSprings #NatureBeauty #TravelTips
