XL Club is one of the most popular gay saunas in Taipei, combining a gym and a bar. Although the gym equipment is somewhat outdated, the main clientele here are men aged between 25 and 40 — making it the sauna with the highest ratio of young and fit guys in Taipei. In addition to standard facilities, there’s also a rooftop terrace where guests can sunbathe nude. Inside, most people wear underwear. The steam room is the main cruising spot, and peak hours are usually on Saturdays and Sundays from 3 to 6 PM, as well as Fridays from 5 to 10 PM. During summer, when it’s sunny, the crowd tends to arrive earlier.

Cruising Ratio

Wulai 66 Hot Spring is located on Wulai Old Street, blending a hot-spring resort with a music lounge and bar. It offers public baths, private rooms, dining, and drinks all in one place, with a relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. Inside, you’ll find two large hot pools (around 42°C+ and 40°C), a cold plunge, a small spa pool, a mini sauna for about four people, plus two steam rooms and a smoking room downstairs—those steam rooms can get pretty lively sometimes 🤫.

Recently, the hot spring has become gay-friendly, and from 17:00 to 02:00, the venue shifts into its rainbow hours. There are six pools total (four hot, two cold), a sauna, steam rooms, and around 70 lockers. The setup is simple, but all the social corners you’d expect are there.

Weekends are busiest around 16:30–19:00, with the crowd thinning noticeably after 19:30. The mix of people is diverse and constantly rotating. As for eye candy—there’s definitely some—but the ones that make you stop and stare depend entirely on luck. The rest… you’ll have to explore yourself. 🌫️🌈

  • ​Price: NT 300

  • Address: No. 66, Wulai St., Wulai District, New Taipei City — right on Wulai Old Street, easy to pair with a stroll around nearby spots.

Beitou Hot Spring Resort

average rating is 3.5 out of 5

Cruising Ratio

In recent years, it’s been popping up more and more in local gay chatter. Often mentioned in the same breath as Shan Yue, which already tells you enough.

Insider vibe (2026)

  • Crowd: Rumor says a high gay/gay-friendly ratio. Mostly guys in their 20s–30s, clean-cut, fit, sunshine energy. Easy on the eyes.

  • Timing: Fridays & Saturdays get very busy, especially in the afternoon and evening. Weekdays are calmer — better if you prefer things subtle.

  • Where things happen: The steam room is… well, where attention tends to focus. The soaking areas stay more “wellness,” relatively speaking.

  • Price: Around TWD 700 on weekdays, 800 on weekends. Not cheap, but new facilities, spacious, and well-maintained — many feel it’s fair.

  • Note: Staff do check occasionally. If things get too obvious, you might get a reminder. Keep it discreet.

Bottom line
After Shan Yue, this is probably the most talked-about new spot in Beitou right now.
Looks like a wellness retreat, feels like something else if you catch the right moment 😏♨️

Weekend visits keep your eyes busy.
Pick the timing right, and you’ll understand why people keep mentioning it — without actually saying much.

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. Nevertheless, even if nothing significant happens, it is still a good place to relax and enjoy hot springs.

*The steam room has not been open recently (information updated on 06-03-2024)

Transportation: Take Exit 1 of Xinbeitou MRT Station and walk approximately 3 minutes in the direction of Can Kun.
