Huanggang Public Bathhouse (Golden Hot Spring) Introduction
The hot springs in the Jinshan District of New Taipei City belong to the Datun Mountain geothermal area. The source water of the Huanggang Public Bathhouse emerges as a transparent colorless spring, confirmed by the Taiwan Hot Springs Research and Development Center to be "iron spring." When the spring water emerges, it is transparent and colorless, but the iron ions in the water oxidize upon contact with air, resulting in a reddish-brown appearance. This quality is known as "Golden Spring" in Japan. At the bottom of the pool, sediments from the oxidized iron ions form, and on the surface, there are floaters from mineral ion combinations (known as "Yunohana" in Japan), which are all natural phenomena. The outdoor foot soaking pool uses a flow-through system, and it is recommended to let the spring water cool to a suitable temperature before soaking for better health benefits. The location is near Jinshan Beach, Shitoushan Park, and Jinshan Qingshui Wetland. After enjoying the seawater, you can walk to this foot soaking pool to rest, watching eagles soaring in the air and water birds hunting in the Huangxi River, soaking in the golden spring under the golden sunset and enjoying the tranquility and beauty.
