Why this order
A glass is an everyday object in your hand; a room of them becomes a landscape of light. Choose colours at Spring Pool, dinner near the City God Temple, then a slower pace beside the moat.
Your afternoon and evening
15:00–16:30 Spring Pool; 17:30–18:45 dinner; 19:00 moat. The studio closes at 17:30; the café at 17:00.
Spring Pool is about 15 minutes from Hsinchu railway station; finish near the moat and walk back to the station.
