Su'ao Cold Spring Introduction
Yilan Hot Spring Sanctuary - The First Wonderful Spring in the World Yilan can be said to be a land of hot springs, with springs available to soak in all year round. In winter, there's the Jiaoxi Hot Spring, while in summer, the Su'ao Cold Spring offers a refreshing experience. Together, they are known as the two natural treasures hidden beneath the Lanyang Plain, attracting many people who love hot springs to come and relax with their families. Unique and Refreshing Cold Spring Su'ao, blessed with abundant rainfall and thick limestone layers, boasts Southeast Asia's one-of-a-kind Su'ao Cold Spring. With a temperature of around 21 degrees Celsius, this “low-temperature mineral spring” is colorless and odorless, with clear and transparent water suitable for drinking and bathing. It is Taiwan's only bicarbonate spring. The history of the cold spring dates back to 1928, when it was discovered and developed by Japanese soldiers due to its clear and sweet water rich in carbon dioxide. This led to the production of local specialties such as yokan (a jellied dessert) and soda, although the soda production has since ceased. However, the cold spring yokan remains a representative specialty of Su'ao, providing a sweet experience you won't want to miss! Refreshing and Pleasant at 21 Degrees The current facilities of the cold spring include open-air public pools for men and women and private hot spring rooms, all within well-planned recreational parks, making it a great spot for both adults and children to enjoy. When soaking in the cold spring, the initial shock of the lower water temperature may feel quite refreshing. However, it doesn't take long—less than five minutes—before you feel warm all over. The continuous fine bubbles rising from the bottom make it feel like you are immersed in a sugar-free soda, providing a fun and relaxing experience! It is said that frequent bathing in the cold spring is beneficial for the skin, making it a natural beauty sanctuary according to locals. This extraordinary cold spring is something you must experience for yourself!
