Cha Ri Hot Spring Introduction
ChaRi Hot Springs is located in the Sailboat Nose area of the southeastern coastal region, facing the Pacific Ocean. It is named ChaRi Hot Springs due to the direction of the sunrise, and during the Japanese occupation period, it was referred to as "Asahi Onsen." It is one of the world's top underwater hot springs. ChaRi Hot Springs has a salty taste from the seawater and is classified as a sulfate-chloride spring, non-irritating to human skin, and does not feel sticky after washing. The hot spring area features three outdoor circular baths, an indoor hot spring pool, SPA facilities, an egg boiling area, and a retail shop. The intertidal zone in the hot spring area is full of corals and sea erosion ditches, allowing visitors to enjoy a unique hot spring experience. The underwater springs are formed with clear water at approximately 53 degrees Celsius, and the spring water can reach 90 degrees at its emergence point, with a salty taste from seawater, classified as a sulfate-chloride spring. The source of the spring water comes from seawater or groundwater seeping underground from nearby seas, heated by volcanic magma reservoirs, and emerges in the intertidal zone due to pressure, making it a hot spring from an igneous rock area. Currently, the hot spring area plans to have five outdoor terraced hot spring pools, differentiated into hot and warm pools for mixed bathing for men and women, accessible only with swimwear and swim caps, accommodating about 300 to 400 visitors. The indoor hot spring pool and SPA facilities feature a skylight roof and floor-to-ceiling glass walls, offering a wide view of the outdoor scenery. Additional facilities include a well-designed observation walkway, seaside pavilions, basins for washing, and retail shops, all of which are extremely convenient for travelers.
