Recreation

HSP has its fair share of cultural heritage but its proximity to so many universities gives it a vibrant living culture as well. The environment is home to artists and musicians as well as hosting many social, artistic and traditional cultural events. One can also enjoy the majestic beauty of the mountains, natural gorges, forests, streams, and hot springs just a short drive away. There are many resorts and recreational facilities, such as recreational farms where city dwellers can experience a taste of rural life, golf courses, bowling, and camping areas.
