Su'ao Cold Spring Introduction
Yilan Haoxuan Sacred Place - The World's First Odd Spring Yilan can be described as a land of excellent springs, with available hot springs to soak in year-round. In winter, there are Jiaoxi hot springs, while in summer, there are Su'ao cold springs, both regarded as two natural treasures hidden beneath the Lanyang Plain, attracting many spring enthusiasts and their families to come and relax. Unique Clear Mineral Water The abundant rainfall and the thick limestone layer in Su'ao have created the unique Su'ao cold springs in Southeast Asia, with a water temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius. This "low-temperature mineral spring" is colorless, odorless, with clear and transparent water, suitable for drinking and bathing, making it Taiwan's only bicarbonate spring. The history of the cold springs can be traced back to 1928 when discovered by Japanese soldiers, who researched and developed it. Due to its clear, sweet water rich in carbon dioxide, the locally made yokan (a type of jelly) and soda became two major local products. Although soda production has ceased, cold spring yokan remains a representative delicacy of Su'ao, and you should definitely try the sweet experience! Refreshing at 21 Degrees Currently, the cold springs have both male and female outdoor public pools and private hot spring rooms, as well as a well-planned recreational park where both adults and children can enjoy soaking and relaxation. When bathing in the cold springs, the lower water temperature initially feels quite refreshing, but in less than five minutes, the body warms up. Additionally, bubbles continuously rise from the pool bottom, making it feel like soaking in a sugar-free soda, which is both enjoyable and comfortable! It is said that frequent bathing here benefits the skin, making it a natural beauty sacred place according to locals. With such a peculiar cold spring, you must come and experience it for yourself!
