Tianliao Cold Spring Area (Tianliao Huaj季度 Resort Hotel) Introduction
The history of Tianliao Cold Spring is quite long. In the early days, the soil in the Tianliao area was poor, and there was a lack of water sources. Local residents discovered cold springs gushing from rock crevices, and thus they settled near the water, utilizing the cold spring for their daily lives and irrigation, making this precious carbonic cold spring the lifeblood of the Tianliao area. After the Japanese army arrived in Taiwan and stationed here, they found that this was a rare carbonic cold spring in the world, and they even established a police sanatorium in the cold spring area, giving rise to the local hot spring culture. Tianliao Cold Spring is a naturally occurring bicarbonate spring with a pH value of 7 and an average temperature of 22°C. It has transparent, colorless water with a slight sulfur smell and is a low-temperature hot spring. During the Japanese occupation, people began using the spring for bathing after heating the water, and due to its pure and gentle quality, it is known as the "beauty skin spring." It is also the only area in Southern Taiwan with a cold spring.
