Asahi Hot Springs Introduction
Chaohsi Hot Springs is located near the southeastern coast around Sailboat Nose, facing the Pacific Ocean. Named after the direction of the sunrise, it was known as "Asahi Onsen" during the Japanese colonial period and is one of the world's top underwater hot springs. Chaohsi 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 doesn't leave a sticky feeling after bathing. The hot spring area features three outdoor circular baths, an indoor hot spring pool, SPA facilities, a boiled egg area, and a retail shop. The intertidal zone in the hot spring area is filled with corals and sea erosion channels, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique hot spring experience. The underwater hot spring is formed from transparent hot spring water with a temperature of about 53 degrees Celsius, and the spring water can reach 90 degrees Celsius at the outlet, carrying a salty taste from the seawater and belonging to the sulfate-chloride spring category. The source of the spring water comes from seawater or groundwater seeping underground from nearby marine areas, being heated by volcanic magma chambers and emerging from the intertidal zone due to pressure, classifying it as a volcanic rock area hot spring. Currently, the hot spring area plans to have five outdoor terraced landscape hot spring pools, divided into hot and warm pools for mixed bathing for men and women, with swimwear and swim caps required for entry. It can accommodate three to four hundred visitors. The indoor hot spring pool and SPA facilities feature a skylight roof and walls made of floor-to-ceiling glass, providing a broad view of the beautiful outdoor scenery. Additionally, there are complete viewing trails, sea-view pavilions, washing areas, and a retail shop, making it extremely convenient for travelers.
