Wellness Travel in Taiwan

Traveling means many different things to many different people, and one emerging trend in the space is wellness travel.

Instead of lying by the pool or touring museums and art galleries, wellness travel involves improving your wellbeing through physical, spiritual or psychological activities. In Taiwan, there are many places where you can do just that.

One of the most popular activities for wellness in Taiwan is tai chi, a slow-moving martial art that is hugely popular on the island. In fact it’s so popular you don’t need to book a special trip to do it, just turn up to a local park and join in with the regular sessions run by locals. Of course, if you want some instruction you can book a training course, but for casual practice the park is best.

Taiwan is also known for its hot springs, themselves famous for their myriad health benefits. If you’re on a budget you can take a dip in naturally heated mineral baths dotted around the island for a small fee, while more exclusive spas offer a huge array of massages and other treatments that will help you relax and return home feeling better than ever.
