Cha-ri Hot Spring Introduction
Cha Ri Hot Spring is located in the southeastern coastal area of Sailboat Nose, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is named after the direction of the sunrise and was referred to as "Asahi Onsen" during the Japanese occupation. It is one of the world's top underwater hot springs. The Cha Ri Hot Spring has a salty taste due to its seawater content, classified as a sulfate-chloride hot spring. It is non-irritating to human skin and does not leave a sticky feeling after bathing. The hot spring area features three outdoor circular baths, an indoor hot spring pool, SPA wellness facilities, a cooking egg area, and a retail shop. The intertidal zone is abundant with coral and sea erosion channels, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique hot spring experience. The underwater hot spring is formed from clear water with a temperature of about 53 degrees Celsius, and the spring water can reach up to 90 degrees Celsius, with a salty taste from seawater, also classified as a sulfate-chloride hot spring. The water source is from seawater or groundwater that seeps into the ground, heated by volcanic magma reservoirs, and then emerges into the intertidal zone due to pressure, making it a hot spring located in an igneous rock area. Currently, the hot spring area plans to have five outdoor terraced scenic hot spring pools, divided into hot and warm pools for mixed bathing for men and women, requiring swimwear and swim caps to enter the pools, accommodating three to four hundred visitors. The indoor hot spring pool and SPA wellness facilities include a skylight on the roof, surrounded by large glass walls, providing a panoramic view of the outdoor scenery. Additionally, there are well-equipped observation trails, seaside pavilions, washing areas, and retail shops for the convenience of travelers.
