天氣漸漸冷了，來去泡溫泉的好日子到了。
想當然最近短居在台南的我，距離最近的應該就是關子嶺了。
The weather in Taiwan is getting colder and it is a wonderful day to go on a hot spring here!
If you spent a bit time here in Tainan, one of the hot spring you can't miss must be "GuanZiLing"
其實現在假日去關子嶺很方便，根本不需要開車人擠人、找地方停車、塞車、邊睡邊開車。
身為台灣五大溫泉之一的關子嶺，屬於鹼性的碳酸泉，源頭大約在攝氏75度左右，是天然的泥漿溫泉，也是國內唯一的泥漿溫泉。（寶泉橋的源頭設有溫度計）
剛好今年正值發現水火同源景點的三百年，台南市政府觀光旅遊局辦理了一系列的2014溫泉節。我們剛好趕上最後一天去走走。
It's quite convenient to go to GuanZiLing now, you don't have to worry about how to get there on week days or traveling around that area on weekend. GuanZiLing is one of the five hot spring here in Taiwan, and it's the only nature mud hot spring. The spring source is about 75 degree.
平假日上關子嶺泡溫泉，甚至想要遊覽附近的景點，沒有車？已經不是難事。現在只需要搭乘火車到「新營站」，出站後在圓環正對面的「新營客運站」搭乘黃幹線客運，15分鐘可以抵達「白河」。抵達白河之後，再到7-11門口搭乘往「關子嶺」，中間經過蘭花園區，道路通暢的話，大約30分鐘以內就可以抵達關子嶺地區。可以買票，也可以使用悠遊卡、一卡通等電子票證。
該地區有三站寶泉橋、好漢坡跟嶺頂公園總站。不管是想要從寶泉橋步行到好漢坡上到嶺頂公園再去泡溫泉，或是到紅葉公園走走，甚至搭乘到總站泡完溫泉再走下來都很方便。
