Su'ao Cold Springs Introduction
Yilan Hot Springs - The First Wonder of the World Yilan can be considered a land of hot springs, with springs available for bathing throughout the year. In winter, there are Jiaoxi Hot Springs, while in summer, there are Su'ao Cold Springs. Together, they are known as the two natural treasures hidden beneath the Lanyang Plain, attracting many hot spring enthusiasts who come with family and friends to relax and unwind. Unique Cold Spring The region's abundant rainfall and the thick limestone layers in Su'ao have created Southeast Asia's unique Su'ao Cold Spring, a "low-temperature mineral spring" with a temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius. This colorless and odorless spring water is clear and transparent, suitable for both drinking and bathing, and is Taiwan's only bicarbonate spring. The history of the cold spring dates back to 1928 when Japanese soldiers discovered and developed it. Known for its clear and sweet water rich in carbon dioxide, it was used to produce yokan (a type of jelly) and soda, which became two of the local specialties. Although soda production has ceased, cold spring yokan remains a representative local product of Su'ao, offering a sweet experience to enjoy! Refreshing Experience at 21 Degrees Currently, there are open-air public pools for men and women and private hot spring rooms at the cold spring facility, along with a well-planned recreational park, making it a suitable place for both adults and children. When bathing in the cold spring, the lower water temperature feels quite refreshing at first, but in less than five minutes, you'll start to feel warm all over. The fine bubbles constantly rising from the bottom make it feel like you're soaking in sugar-free soda, which is both fun and invigorating! It's said that frequent bathing in the cold spring is beneficial for the skin, making it a natural beauty sanctuary according to locals. Such an extraordinary cold spring is a must-visit for a personal experience!
