Lost on Ln 162
tbh the lanes off Ln 162 all look the same after a while, but the trick is to watch the numbers. odd and even sides flip depending on which end you enter from, so if your bakery was on an even number just retrace and keep the even side on your left. also the whole grid kinda hinges on the little temple at the corner of Ln 162 and Ln 40, use that as your anchor and you can't really get lost. pineapple cakes there are solid btw, the one near the temple does a decent cheaper box if u wanna stock up.
just wander til you hit the temple, worked for me
yeah the little temple at Ln 40 is the anchor
honestly the lanes are numbered in a way that barely makes sense on the ground, so i just screenshot the map before i go in. once you're deep in there the signal drops and google maps keeps spinning. landmark i use is the 7-11 near the mouth of the lane, everything branches off from there.
Seeking recommendations for facial or massage treatments targeting jaw tension and TMJ issues
For muscle-based jaw tightness, the traditional 推拿 places often do better than the fancy facial spas, and they're cheaper. There's a small 國術館 near Shuanglian I go to for neck and jaw stuff, the guy works the masseter from outside and does traction on the cervical spine, which is where a lot of referred jaw tension actually starts. Around NT$800 for 40 minutes, no booking app, you just walk in. It won't fix a real joint problem but if your issue is muscular clenching it's worth a try.
if its actual tmj stuff and not just cosmetic face massage, go see a dentist who does 咬合板 (occlusal splint) first, the massage places treat the symptom not the joint. dr chen at a clinic off fuxing south road near daan park sorted my clicking in like 3 visits, mostly by adjusting my bite & giving me a night guard. the relief from that lasted way longer than any spa facial i tried
my physio at a small clinic near Liuzhangli MRT did intraoral work on my masseter and pterygoid muscles, basically gloved finger inside the cheek releasing trigger points. weird at first but it fixed the morning headaches within maybe 4 sessions. its not a spa thing at all, its rehab, so book it as a medical visit. 針灸 also helped me, the needles go in the jaw and temple, but the physio did more for the actual tightness.
