Su'ao Cold Springs Introduction
Yilan's Sacred Hot Spring - The World's First Strange Spring Yilan can be said to be a land of hot springs, with springs available to soak all year round. In winter, there are the Jiaoxi hot springs, while in summer, visitors can enjoy the Su'ao cold springs. These have earned the title of two natural treasures buried deep beneath the Lanyang Plain, attracting many hot spring lovers who come with family and friends to relax and rejuvenate. Unique Cold Spring The abundant rainfall and the thick limestone layers in Su'ao have created Southeast Asia's unique Su'ao cold spring, with a spring temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius, known as a "low-temperature mineral spring." It is colorless, odorless, and has clear and transparent water that is suitable for both drinking and bathing, making it Taiwan's only bicarbonate spring. The history of the cold spring dates back to 1928 when it was discovered and researched by Japanese military personnel. Known for its clear and sweet water rich in carbon dioxide, the spring was used to produce local delicacies such as yokan (a type of jelly) and soda, which became two signature products of the area. Although the soda production has stopped, the cold spring yokan remains a representative specialty of Su'ao, offering a sweet sensation that you should definitely try! Refreshing at 21 Degrees Currently, the cold spring features outdoor pools for men and women as well as private hot spring rooms, along with a well-planned recreational park suitable for both adults and children to enjoy soaking and leisure activities. When first entering the cold spring water, the lower temperature can feel very refreshing, but within five minutes, you'll start to feel warm all over. The continuous bubbling at the bottom makes it feel like you're soaking in a sugar-free soda—fun and refreshing! It is said that frequent bathing in the spring is beneficial for the skin and is known locally as a natural beauty spot. You must come and experience this incredible cold spring for yourself!
