Su-ao Cold Spring Introduction
Yilan's Hot Spring Paradise - The World's First奇泉 Yilan is known as a land of wonderful springs, with hot springs available throughout the year. In winter, there are the hot springs of Jiaoxi, and in summer, the cold springs of Su'ao, which are both regarded as two natural treasures hidden beneath the Lanyang Plain, attracting many individuals and families who love soaking in springs to come and relax. Clear Mineral Water The unique cold springs of Su'ao are a product of abundant rainfall and the thick limestone layers in the area. The spring water, with a temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius, is characterized as a "low-temperature mineral spring." It is colorless, odorless, and clear, suitable for both drinking and bathing, making it the only bicarbonate spring in Taiwan. The history of the cold springs dates back to 1928 when Japanese soldiers discovered and researched them. The clear and delicious water, rich in carbon dioxide, was used for producing local specialties such as yokan (a type of jelly) and soda, although the soda production has since ceased. However, the cold spring yokan remains a well-known local delicacy in Su'ao, and you should definitely try it for a sweet experience! Cooling 21 Degrees Currently, the cold spring features outdoor public pools for men and women, as well as private hot spring rooms, and has a well-planned recreational park where both adults and children can enjoy soaking in the springs. When you enter the cold spring, the lower water temperature may feel quite refreshing at first, but within five minutes, you'll feel warm all over. The bottom of the pool continuously releases fine bubbles, making it feel like you're soaking in a sugar-free soda—it's fun and invigorating! It is said that regular bathing in the springs is beneficial for the skin, making it a natural beauty spot according to the locals. Such an extraordinary cold spring is a must-visit for you to experience firsthand!
