Su'ao Cold Spring Introduction
Yilan Hot Springs - The World's First Wonder Spring Yilan can be said to be a land of hot springs, with springs available for soaking all year round. In winter, there are the Jiaoxi Hot Springs, while in summer, the Su'ao Cold Springs can be enjoyed. These two natural treasures, hidden beneath the Lanyang Plain, attract many spa enthusiasts and families looking to relax their bodies and minds. Unique Cold Springs The abundant rainfall and the thick limestone layers in the Su'ao area have created Southeast Asia's unique Su'ao Cold Springs, with a water temperature of around 21 degrees Celsius. This "low-temperature mineral spring" is colorless and odorless, with clear and transparent water that is suitable for drinking and bathing. It is Taiwan's only bicarbonate spring. The history of the cold springs dates back to 1928 when Japanese soldiers discovered and studied them. Thanks to its clear and sweet water, rich in carbon dioxide, the local delicacies made from it, such as yokan and soda, became two of the area's specialties. Although soda production has ceased, cold spring yokan remains a representative local product, offering a delightful sweetness! Refreshing at 21 Degrees Currently, the cold springs feature open-air public pools for men and women, as well as private hot spring rooms, accompanied by a well-planned recreational park suitable for both adults and children. When bathing in the cold springs, you might feel quite cool upon entering the pool due to the lower water temperature, but you'll warm up within five minutes. With fine bubbles continuously rising from the pool bottom, it feels like soaking in sugar-free soda—it's fun and invigorating! It is said that frequent bathing is beneficial for the skin, making it a natural beauty sanctuary in the locals' eyes. Such a remarkable cold spring is an experience you must try for yourself!
