Huangjin Hot Spring Public Bathhouse Introduction
The hot springs in the Jinshan District of New Taipei City belong to the Datun Mountain geothermal area. The source of the Sulfur Harbor public bath emits a colorless and transparent spring, which has been verified by the Taiwan Hot Spring Research and Development Center as "iron spring." When the spring first emerges, it is colorless and clear; however, the iron ions in the spring oxidize upon contact with air, giving it a golden-brown appearance. This spring is renowned in Japan as "The Golden Spring." The bottom of the pool accumulates sediments from oxidized iron ions, and the surface has floating minerals (known as "Yunohana" in Japan), which are all natural phenomena. The outdoor footbath utilizes a flowing water system, and it is recommended to allow the original spring water to cool to a comfortable temperature before soaking for better health benefits. The location is close to Jinshan Beach, Shitoushan Park, and Jinshan Qingshui Wetland. After walking through the beach, visitors can relax their feet here while enjoying the eagles soaring in the sky and water birds hunting in the Huanxi River, soaking in the golden spring under the golden sunset, and savoring the beauty of tranquility.
