Jenq Yang Hotspring Hotel

LikedI happened to book the day after the big earthquake, and since a lot of people cancelled, they upgraded me to a better room. The hotspring baths are also nice and relaxing.

LikedVery low price which includes the access to the hot spring as well as breakfast! Spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a bathtub in the room. Very quiet in the evening, so you can relax after visiting the hot spring.

DislikedThis is NOT a complaint about the property per se, but just keep in mind that Lushan is not the easiest place to get to, so it would be better if you have your own transport, namely, a car or a scooter.

DislikedThe hotel was okay, food is good on the street in front of the hotel. Unfortunatly the villagers have a really aggressive white dog on the way to the hotel from the busstop. I was attacked an fell on by hand and shoulder. Be very careful.

LikedThe best part is the hotel's hot spring in the back. Breakfast was also very simple but tasty (for Taiwanese). The rooms are functional and have mountain/valley views. Overall, Lushan is a very interesting area. Once upon a time, it was obviously a vibrant hot spring resort town but now it sits empty. Typhoons and landslides have led the government to condemn most of the buildings. The closed hotels are filled with rocks silt. Shops are trying their hardest to keep going. It's hard to imagine a recovery for this area, despite the immutable soothing natural hot springs. What a fascinating tale. Definitely worth a visit, but not on a rainy day.

Dislikednothing.

LikedHosts are very friendly, nice hot spring. It is a pity that the area was affected by typhoon before.
