Asahi Hot Spring Introduction
Cha Ri Hot Springs is located in the southeast coastal area of Cape Sailboat, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is named Cha Ri Hot Springs due to its direction towards the sunrise, and it was known as "Asahi Hot Springs" during the Japanese colonial period. It is one of the world-class underwater hot springs. Cha Ri Hot Springs has a salty taste from the seawater and belongs to the sulfate-chloride spring category, which is non-irritating to human skin and does not feel sticky after washing. The hot spring area features three outdoor circular pools and an indoor hot spring pool, spa facilities, an egg cooking area, and a sales area. The intertidal zone of the hot spring area is dotted with corals and sea erosion grooves, providing a unique bathing experience. The formation of the underwater hot spring results in the water quality of Cha Ri Hot Springs being transparent and at a temperature of around 53 degrees Celsius, with the spring water at the outlet reaching up to 90 degrees Celsius, carrying the salty taste of seawater. The source of the spring water comes from seawater or underground water seeping into the ground, heated by volcanic magma, and then surfacing in the intertidal zone due to pressure. The current hot spring facilities include plans for five outdoor terraced landscape hot spring pools, divided into hot and warm water pools for mixed bathing, where swimming suits and caps are required for entry, accommodating three to four hundred visitors. The indoor hot spring pool and spa facilities have a skylight roof and are surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass walls, offering a wide view of the beautiful outdoor scenery. Additionally, there are well-equipped viewing paths, seaside pavilions, washing areas, and sales areas, making it very convenient for travelers.
