Xuhai Hot Springs Introduction
Xuhai Hot Spring is located in Xuhai Village, Mudan Township. The water source is naturally flowing underground water, with a colorless and tasteless carbonated spring quality. The water temperature is around 45°C, and the pH value is approximately 7.4, classifying it as weakly alkaline spring water. The facility is set up as a public bathhouse, divided into male and female bath areas, making it a rare public bath hot spring in Taiwan. Although soaking in hot springs is beneficial to health, the bathing time should not exceed 15 minutes. If visitors arrive after a long journey, it is best to rest briefly before entering the bath to avoid discomfort. The quality of Xuhai Hot Spring is excellent, and if combined with the correct bathing methods, it can lead to a feeling of full-body relaxation. Before entering the bath, it is advisable to slowly shower with the hot spring water from the feet to the head to help the body acclimate to the water temperature, serving as a warm-up before bathing. After that, one should first soak their feet in the hot spring pool for a few minutes before fully entering, ensuring that the water level does not exceed the heart area. The spring water temperature gradually enhances blood circulation, warming the entire body and improving health benefits. After enjoying a comfortable hot spring bath, take a walk nearby! There is a seemingly secluded Xuhai Village, predominantly inhabited by the Paiwan people, rich in indigenous cultural characteristics. Since Xuhai Village is situated between the mountains and the sea, one can admire the beauty of the layered mountains while also gazing out at the vast Pacific Ocean, making the natural scenery impeccable. Moving towards the coast, one arrives at the tranquil Xuhai Fishing Port, where the docked boats are not stylish large fishing vessels but increasingly rare canoe boats. Approaching the embankment, one can see colorful murals depicting various fishing scenes on the seawall, which are charming and full of whimsy. Not far from Xuhai Fishing Port lies the crescent-shaped Mudan Bay, where there are few signs of artificial excavation, preserving its original simple beauty. The coastline is dotted with beautiful seashells and pebbles, and under the azure sea's nurture, it combines with golden sunlight and a blue sky to create a captivating landscape.
