Your journey begins in the lush embrace of Yangmingshan at the five-star Tien Lai Resort & Spa, where the "Healing Springs" offer a sanctuary for the soul. Here, you will breathe in the sweet mountain air while immersing yourself in the restorative warmth of silky sulfur waters—a quintessential Taiwanese ritual designed to wash away the city’s fatigue. As the day softens, we lead you into the hidden realm of the Pingding Ancient Canal, a century-old waterway dating back to the Qing Dynasty. In this "Dance of the Fairies," you’ll wander alongside the rhythmic sounds of flowing water into a fairytale world where, in the right season, thousands of fireflies flicker like stars fallen to earth. Finally, we bring you back to the vibrant pulse of the city at the iconic Shilin Night Market. Amidst the neon lights and the spirited calls of street vendors, you’ll feast on the "Appetite of Autumn," tasting everything from Michelin-recommended snacks to the smoky delight of pepper buns.
