This was my first time experiencing a rock bath. I booked a 3-hour basic package on KKDay for $850 per person. Upon entry, you need to scan a QR code to add someone as a friend and fill out a form. Then, you take off your shoes and socks, collect your clothes at the counter, watch a video, hand in your shoe locker key, and receive your locker key. Entering your locker key number into your LINE friend will tell you the end time. The showers only provide shampoo and shower gel, with basic wet and dry separation (each shower has two small spaces). There are water dispensers and vending machines (no containers provided, remember to bring your own water bottle). There are five different temperature settings. The environment is spacious and well-maintained. There are also semi-private spaces for one person, with plenty of comic book shelves and magazines to browse. There are also massage chairs ($30 for 10 minutes), soft chairs, sofas, and various other relaxation spaces. Charging stations are also available. A 10-minute hourglass is also provided inside the rock bath area.
I boarded the bus heading from Tsinghua University in Hsinchu to Terminal 1 of the airport. It was the 8 AM bus on Sunday. Pros: You can check the real-time route of the No. 1250 bus using the bus+ app. It was convenient because it went directly to the airport. It took an hour from the starting point to Terminal 1, and about 45 minutes from the Tsinghua University bus stop where I boarded to Terminal 1. Since it was a double-decker bus, I could place my suitcase on the floor, and the seats were reasonably comfortable. Cons: The driver was a bit unfriendly. Even when I asked in English, he shouted at me in Chinese, so I felt a little intimidated while boarding. I was nervous about getting a seat because they only accept reservations via the official Line up to three days in advance. Looking back on the trip, it was comfortable enough to overlook the downsides.
Soft music was played during the session. After the teacher explained the techniques, we were given ample time to complete our own work. If we had any questions, we could ask the teacher, who was always happy to answer. The accompanying black tea and rice pudding were also quite delicious. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you.
