Harrison Hot Springs Day Tour | The hot spring town is really beautiful

| The hot spring town is really beautiful. I went to Harrison for a day trip on the weekend, and it is indeed the nearest hot spring town to Vancouver, 🚗 it takes about an hour and a half/two hours to drive. I have stayed at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort hotel before and enjoyed the hot springs there (if you want to soak in the hot springs for the first time, you must stay in this hotel!). But this trip was in a hurry, so I didn't soak in the hot springs, which is a bit regrettable. I didn't expect that it would be pretty good to just turn around. Including lunch, I probably stayed here for three to four hours. ⛲Walking to the right along Harrison Lake, you can go boating or rest by the small fountain. The lake view here gives people a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and it's really relaxing to sit here on weekends. ♨Walking to the left, passing through Harrison Hot Springs Resort into the forest, until you see a locked small house, you have reached the source of the hot springs. Next to the house, you can see the hot springs flowing out, and you can feel the hot spring water without burning your hands. There is also an open-air small hot spring nearby, and you can experience this hobo hot springs in the summer~

Harrison Hot Springs Resort starts check-in at 4 pm, with complete facilities, not only has 5 hot springs (including outdoor and indoor, I prefer outdoor😄 because it feels like being surrounded by nature haha🌲) but also equipped with a spa💆, it's so comfortable to soak in the hot spring and have a spa on a winter weekend~

From Victoria, Canada, take ferry all the way to Harrison Town. Today is a day in blue, blue sky, blue sea, and blue man on board. Arriving at Harrison Hot Spring Hotel, there is nothing better than bubble. The hot springs are more enjoyable, ## also let us experience the meditation of the original people and learn a lot of sleep culture. A person can not eat for 10 days, can not drink water for 7 days, but can only sleep for up to 5 days, do not breathe for 4 minutes, so the first important thing to maintain health is breathing, and the second is sleep. If you come to Harrison, I suggest everyone try it~
