Jiaoxi day-trip guide | Hot springs, Wufengqi, trails, Longtan Lake and transport

Walk from the station or terminal through the Traveler Corridor, hot-spring park, Tangweigou and Tangwei Creek, then choose bathing separately.

There is no single opening time or admission for the township; check each facility, trail and event. A public footbath is not the same as a bathhouse, hotel bath, private bathing room or in-room spring.

Jiaoxi Hot Spring Park itself lists 24-hour access, but Forest Furo is a separately operated paid facility.

Tangweigou Park lists 08:00–12:00 and 13:00–21:30; some footbaths are free while the bathhouse has separate rules. A shared changing-and-bathing facility that may charge and set height, maintenance and last-entry rules.

Taiwan health authorities advise water no hotter than 40°C; follow any lower on-site limit. Keep one soak within 15 minutes and leave immediately if unwell.

Do not bathe after alcohol or immediately after a meal; official advice is to wait at least two hours.

Linmei Shipan is open only from 0 to 0.9K; the unstable section beyond remains closed, so no complete loop is presented.

The forestry page shows Paoma fully open, but official sources separately record 5 km and about 6.7 km; a through-walk needs return transport.

Paoma is currently marked fully open, while the 5 km and about 6.7 km figures retain separate provenance.

The rear St Mary trail toward Matcha Mountain is closed for access-road works; do not summit or use unofficial detours, and follow controls even before the sanctuary.

Wufengqi was pre-emptively closed before the 9 July 2026 typhoon, and no itemised reopening text was retrievable; check the latest notice before travel.

Wufengqi remains a check-before-going item; old wording does not prove current water-play, camping or barbecue rules.

Longtan Lake, Sanmin Wetland, Erlong River, Erlong Heart and Houdongkeng form a gentler rural extension. For families, distinguish footbath temperature, bathhouse height rules, trail gradients and waterside spaces.

Plan the currently accessible front of Linmei Shipan separately from Longtan Lake, Sanmin Wetland, Erlong River and Houdongkeng.

Reach the station area by train or coach, then connect one natural zone by shuttle, taxi or walking. A car-free day should not include several mountain trails; a full Paoma traverse needs a return plan.

Taiwan Tourist Shuttle can provide access, but timetable and trail status are separate checks. The transfer hub for intercity coaches and local buses; use official live times.

Linmei Shipan is open only from 0 to 0.9K; the unstable section beyond remains closed, so no complete loop is presented. Construction, slopes, heavy rain and typhoons can change trail access, so recheck the official page before departure.

This guide does not claim township-wide accessibility; verify trail surfaces, ramps, thresholds and wet areas on site.
