The building was smaller than I thought and there weren't many customers. I went on a Saturday morning and I was the only one wearing a cheongsam. I was able to experience it comfortably and freely. There were more types of cheongsam than I thought, and there were quite a few pretty ones among the ones that didn't charge extra. The person who helped me enter spoke English well and was kind, so it was comfortable, and the person who styled my hair was really kind and considerate even though I couldn't communicate well, so I was able to have a comfortable and fun time. My hair was also really pretty and well done. They showed me a variety of hair accessories to choose from, and I could rent two props (cigarette holders, fans, sunglasses, hats, etc.) and shoes, so it was perfect. The building is small, but there were many places to take pictures, and the garden was well decorated with swings and benches for taking pictures. The location is right by the bus from HSR Taichung Station or Xinwuri Station. You can find it by getting off the bus and going through the alley, but the building is not that big, so I was confused at first thinking the map was wrong, but if you look closely, there are signs for the entrance. The building is small, but it's pretty, so it was really nice. Rainbow Village is also just a short bus ride away, so it's perfect. Before entering the city or going to other areas, I recommend leaving your luggage at the station and experiencing this place + touring Rainbow Village.

On weekdays, there are not many people visiting Qingxin Hot Spring for bathing, so it’s a great place to relax. There is also a bath towel provided at the counter for you to use after bathing, which is very considerate.

it's true that the facility looks a little old in some places, it does it's job. the staff is friendly and can speak some English. the facilities are fun and relaxing to use. it wasn't crowded. bring a bathing cap and a bathing suit to maximize the number of pools you can use. the bubble chair was the best. grab the lunch buffet for 670 ntd. it's unlimited steak and seafood and many other great things. then take a walk around the koi pond!

It’s quite easy to take pictures. There are many cheongsams to choose from. You can choose by yourself. The coupon can also be used for ice cream which is pretty good ~ I had a lot of fun taking pictures!

There is nothing to fault about Changhua Motor Inn and the price. Although the bathroom feels a little bit old, overall it is worth the price and the room is large.
