It is rumored that in recent days, Huang Chi has implemented new regulations during weekends, specifically closing the beloved steam room for the gays on Friday and Saturday nights. This action has caused great dissatisfaction among the gay community. As a result, Shan Yue Hot Spring in Xinbeitou has gradually become a new hot spot of gay cruising. Due to its convenient transportation and clean environment, it attracts a large number of visitors, increasing the chances of encountering people from the community. However, because of the high influx of people, it may be challenging to engage in gay cruising activities.
