Huangjin Hot Springs Public Bathhouse Introduction
The hot springs in Jinshan District, New Taipei City, belong to the Datun Mountain geothermal area. The source at the Huanggang Public Bathhouse gushes clear and colorless water, confirmed by the Taiwan Hot Springs Research and Development Center to be an "iron spring." When the spring erupts, it is clear and colorless, but the iron ions in the water oxidize upon contact with air, turning into a reddish-brown color. This spring is renowned in Japan as the "Golden Hot Spring." The bottom of the pool accumulates sediments from oxidized iron ions, and the surface has floating mineral ion aggregates (referred to as "yu no hana" in Japan), both of which are natural phenomena. The outdoor foot bath uses a flow-through system, and it is recommended to let the hot spring water cool to a suitable temperature before soaking for better health benefits.
