Guanzihling

Understand

In the foothills above the plains of Tainan, Guanzihling is divided into two parts: "old" Guanzihling in the valley near the hot spring source, and the "summit" 山頂 atop the nearby hill. As the names hint, the old part has older, cheaper hot spring resorts, while the hilltop has newer, pricier ones.

Even by Taiwanese standards the romanization of the name is confused: alternative spellings include Guanziling Hanyu Pinyin, Kuantzuling and Kuantzeling, and until recently written the Chinese characters were written as "關仔嶺".
