Guanziling is a small village located about 40km to the northeast of Tainan in a pleasant area of hills and fruit orchards. The highlight is a mud hot spring, supposedly only one of three mud hot springs in the world. There are a few hotels in Guanziling of which the Toong Mao hotel is the biggest one. Guanziling lies on the Dongshan coffee road, a narrow and winding road which crosses an area of forested hills with pleasant views. The name derives from the coffee plantations which the road crosses, although near Guanziling there are more fruit orchards than coffee plantations.
