Turning Beitou into a luxury health centre
Two years ago, a friend decided to sell his resort in the middle of Beitou, a popular hot springs destination. Without too much deliberation, Amy Ho decided to buy it, adding it to her other ventures such as her health and beauty clinic and a line of cosmetics and health aids.
“I thought about how hot springs are healthy and help you stay young and beautiful," she explains. "Doctors even suggest visits to improve and promote one's healthy lifestyle and it’s also a kind of recreation. It has a very good connection with the medical clinic.”
Chasing Cinderellas
According to a survey reported in Taiwan some months ago, only two per cent of all women in the island country think of themselves as physically attractive.
Taiwanese women are not alone. In fact, the same survey, which polled 5,600 women in 21 different countries, showed that the two per cent figure applies to the rest of the world, as well.
