Tainan: Onsen Papawaqa
The Onsen Papawaqa is a forceful work of modernist architecture directly overlooking the Wenshui riverbed. Its grey-hue exposed-concrete exterior walls, proudly and boldly showcased, echo the colours of the exposed cliff rock on the valleys' opposite side. Inside, two additional interior-décor elements are wood and stone, also chosen to echo the surrounding natural environment.

說明 Introduction
Situated amidst scenic mountains, Onsen Papawaqa is a modern property with nature inspired décor. Offering free Wi-Fi access, it also features restaurants, an outdoor hot spring pool, an outdoor swimming pool and a spa. The property is an 18-minute drive from Wen Shui Old Street and a 30-minute drive from the Da Hu township. It is a 38-minute drive from Miao Li Train Station and a 95-minute drive from Taoyuan International Airport. Fitted with wooden flooring and large windows, suites feature a flat-screen TV with cable channels, an electric kettle, a fridge and a personal safe. The en suite bathroom comes with a large hot tub, toiletries and a hairdryer. Staff at the 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage and free private parking services. Travel arrangements can be made at the tour desk.
The key attraction here is, of course, the mineral-water soaking. Each room faces the river through floor-to-ceiling glass, with a window-side Japanese-style in-floor stone-slab tub. The extensive public-area spa facilities are outside the main building; there are separate nude bathing areas for males and females, a non-nude mixed bathing area, and a wonderful cool-temperature narrow swimming pool that runs the entire main building’s length between building and riverside bluff-edge. The evening starry-sky viewing is scintillating. In the midst of all this is a friendly, breezy thatch-roof open-air bar.
Both restaurants, on the 5th and 6th floors (the top floors), have eyrie-like views of the river before and mountain behind. The complimentary Chinese/Western buffet breakfast is taken in the 5th-floor Running Water Restaurant, which has a laddered spatial design evoking the river's cascading waters.
Lunch and dinner are served in the 6th-floor Flying Cloud Restaurant; the cuisine is Chinese, with strong Hakka and indigenous infusions, along with Western elements.
Locally sourced ingredients are stressed. The Dongpo pork and sesame-oil chicken are especially good.
