May's Hidden Gem in Pingtung: Changyu Hot Spring Hotel Unveiled!

Whenever I get a holiday, I just want to escape from the world (AKA phone notifications + unread messages from my boss). This time, I made a beeline for Changyu Hot Spring Hotel in Pingtung! Honestly, this place is the ultimate "relaxation haven" in my heart.✨ 🛏️ Room Tour: So comfy you won’t want to check out 💤 The moment I stepped into the room, I was surrounded by soothing wooden decor. Before I even sat down, I could feel a wave of sleepiness rising from my feet (LOL). The balcony offers a view of mountains and lush greenery—super quiet, with no sounds of snoring neighbors or kids running around. Absolutely perfect. ♨️ Hot Spring Bath: Like soaking in a bowl of hot ginseng chicken soup The hot spring here is a natural sodium bicarbonate spring, which is super gentle on the skin. After soaking, my skin felt so soft I could star in a baby shampoo commercial. The best part? It’s not crowded at all! It felt like I had the whole place to myself, soaking while enjoying the greenery. Life felt instantly worth living. 🍽️ Dinner: Healthy food that made me lick the plate⁉️ When I heard "healthy food," I was tempted to secretly order Uber Eats. But to my surprise, the food was amazing! The dishes were made with local vegetables, seasoned lightly with less oil and salt. They tasted refreshing yet flavorful, and even someone like me who loves strong flavors fell in love. Super friendly to the body, perfect for someone like me who wants to relax and stay healthy at the same time. ☀️ Breakfast: So hearty you’ll want to nap afterward Breakfast was a feast! There were Chinese-style porridge, side dishes, toast, and even delicious soy milk. Eating while watching the sunlight stream into the restaurant made even a night owl like me want to become a morning person. 💡 Reasons to visit in May: • 👉 Few people! Few people! Few people! (Important enough to say three times) • 👉 Perfect weather—soaking in the hot spring during the day won’t make you dizzy • 👉 Super fresh air—you can wake up to birdsong (not your phone alarm) • 👉 Total relaxation—reset your mind to factory settings In conclusion, Changyu Hot Spring Hotel in Pingtung is my most delightful discovery this May! Besides relaxing, I unexpectedly gained a bit of a healthier lifestyle (?). Next time, I’m bringing a book and face masks to soak for three days and two nights without leaving the room! 📚♨️💤
