Day 1. Arrival in Taipei & Soak in Beitou’s Steamy Calm
Touch down in Taiwan’s dynamic capital and head straight for Beitou — the city’s oldest hot spring district, where Japanese-era bathhouses meet volcanic steam and tiled rooftops. Check into a boutique hotel with its own in-room spring bath, then stroll past bubbling streams and sulphur-scented parks. As dusk falls, enjoy a relaxing soak followed by dinner at a cosy teahouse or a tucked-away izakaya.
Day 2. Taipei’s Cultural Pulse & Rooftop Wellness
Spend your morning exploring the grand halls of the National Palace Museum, home to centuries of Chinese art and jade treasures. Ride the Maokong Gondola up into the tea hills for oolong with a view, then return to the city for a rooftop spa session or a soak at one of Taipei’s stylish wellness retreats. End your day with night market bites — try oyster omelette, pepper buns or tofu grilled over coals — at the lively Shilin or Ningxia markets.
Day 3. Temples, Textiles & Scenic Rails to Jiaoxi
Start your day in the Dadaocheng neighbourhood, wandering through vintage apothecaries and indie cafés on Dihua Street. Stop at Lungshan Temple to hear the clink of coins and smell incense curling through the air. In the afternoon, take a coastal train ride east to Jiaoxi — where steamy laneways and stone bathtubs await. Settle into a hot spring hotel with a private in-room soak and enjoy a quiet evening meal, local sake optional.
Day 4. Waterfall Trails & Hot Spring Street Snacks
This morning, stretch your legs on a forested walk to Wufengqi Waterfall — a three-tiered cascade surrounded by lush greenery. Return to town and explore Tangweigou Hot Spring Park, where feet soak as you nibble on soft-boiled eggs and ramen infused with mineral-rich water. Optional: cycle through the surrounding rice fields or visit the wave-like Lanyang Museum to learn about the region’s coastal and indigenous heritage.
Day 5. Morning Soak & Return to Taipei’s Creative Side
Wake early for a final soak, then travel back to Taipei by mid-morning. This time, stay in a modern hotel in the heart of the city. Spend your afternoon browsing Huashan 1914 Creative Park — an old sake factory turned design hub — or drop into a day spa for a massage or tea-infused facial. For dinner, book a table at a contemporary bistro serving local ingredients with a global twist, or let your senses guide you back to the food stalls of the night market.
Day 6. A Final Slow Morning & Departure
Your last few hours in Taipei are yours to enjoy. Sleep in, soak one last time, or wander the quiet courtyards of Bao’an Temple. Transfer to the airport feeling refreshed and rebalanced — your skin softened by steam, your senses tuned to the subtle rhythm of Taiwan.
