The purpose of this paper is to explore how the spa tread, as a hip in holiday-speak of Taiwan's sunrise leisure industry, fosters new-style leisure experiences and body politics by its commercial marketing and the image building through pervasive mass media. This paper shows that the appearance and marketing of Spa trend in Taiwan, in contrast to the old fashioned slimming centers, calls for a new-fashioned culture of leisure and health: re-emphasis on self-subjectivity, and re-mold of individual's lifestyle. Under the context of Taiwan's spa industry, this paper, in the first hand, invests how the spa industry actively and positively appeals for issues of return-to-the-nature, return-to-the-subjectivity and also for the aspiring after the personal pleasure-oriented activity and therefore forges a legitimate milieu for both ”bodyworks” and ”body pleasure”. Secondly, this paper further explores the polymorphous image of Spa culture not only becomes a useful shield for individuals to contend with the anti-cosmetics conservatives; yet, at the same time, the pleasure-oriented Spa, both directly and indirectly, utilizes consumers' practical processes of ”making-self”, ”making-body”, and ”making-sexuality” in order to empower individuals' self-reflexivity, encourage individuals' transgressing of existing confinement and further affect individuals' leisure aesthetic and living praxis.
