Chaowai Hot Spring Introduction
Cha Ri Hot Spring is located near Sailboat Nose on the southeastern coast, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is named after the direction of the sunrise, and during the Japanese colonial period, it was referred to as "Asahi Onsen." It is one of the world-class underwater hot springs. Cha Ri Hot Spring has a salty taste from seawater and is classified as a sulfate-chloride hot spring, which is non-irritating to human skin and does not leave a sticky feeling after bathing. The hot spring area features three open-air circular bathing pools, an indoor hot spring pool, SPA facilities, an egg boiling area, and a retail shop. The intertidal zone in the hot spring area is filled with coral reefs and sea erosion channels, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique hot spring experience. The underwater hot spring is characterized by transparent water, with a temperature of about 53 degrees Celsius, while the spring water can reach up to 90 degrees Celsius and has a salty taste from seawater, classified as a sulfate-chloride hot spring. The source of the spring water comes from seawater or groundwater seeping underground from the nearby sea area, which is heated by volcanic magma chambers and emerges in the intertidal zone due to pressure. This makes it a hot spring located in an igneous rock area. Currently, the hot spring facility plans to establish five open-air terrace-style hot spring pools, divided into hot water and warm water pools for mixed bathing for men and women, with swimming suits and swim caps required for entry. These pools can accommodate three to four hundred visitors. The indoor hot spring pool and SPA facilities feature a skylight roof and are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls, providing a spacious view of the beautiful outdoor scenery. Additionally, there are well-designed viewing walkways, seaside pavilions, washing areas, and a retail shop, making it extremely convenient for travelers.
