Huanggang Public Bath (Golden Hot Spring) Introduction
The hot springs in the Jinshan District of New Taipei City belong to the Datun volcanic geothermal area. The source of the Huanggang Public Bath springs is a colorless and transparent thermal water, which has been verified by the Taiwan Hot Springs Research and Development Center to be "iron spring." The spring water is colorless and transparent when it emerges, but the iron ions in the water oxidize upon contact with air and turn into a reddish-brown color. This spring water is celebrated in Japan as "Golden Bath," and the bottom of the pool generates sediment from the oxidation of iron ions, while the surface of the water has floating materials formed from the combination of mineral ions (known in Japan as "yu no hana"), which are all natural phenomena. The outdoor foot bath adopts a flowing style, and it is recommended to let the water cool to a suitable temperature before soaking for better health benefits. The location is near Jinshan Recreation Area, Shitoushan Park, and Jinshan Qingshui Wetland. After enjoying the sea water, walking to the foot bath to relax while appreciating eagles soaring in the air and water birds hunting in Huangxi, soaking in the golden bath under the golden sunset allows one to enjoy the beauty of tranquility.
