| Although winter is nearly over, you can still enjoy hot springs. Soaking in a hot spring is just the answer for people who are looking to warm up, relieve tension, or soothe skin. There are more than 100 hot springs across the island for people to experience and enjoy. As a result, hot spring spas have become some of Taiwan's greatest tourist attractions. Beitou, Yangmingshan, Guanziling in Tainan, and Sichongxi in Pingtung County are known as the four main hot spring areas in Taiwan.
It is not uncommon to see people going for a dip in roadside pools of hot water. For those more serious about soaking, Green Island is home to one of the world's three seabed hot springs. There, milk-colored water flows out of the ocean floor and blends with the salty seas of the Pacific Ocean.
Taiwan's hot springs offer many health benefits. Soaking in the hot mineral water is believed to increase energy levels as well as help treat exhaustion, skin problems, and sore muscles. It goes without saying that it is the ultimate way to relieve stress. |
