It is one of Taiwan’s most famous hot spring resorts, especially renowned for its rare mud springs, which are beloved by visitors from all walks of life, resulting in a constant stream of tourists.

　　The hot spring water at Guanziling is alkaline carbonated water with a temperature of around 75 degrees Celsius. Its most distinctive feature is the black, turbid, mud-like appearance, rich in minerals. It is said that soaking in these springs leaves the whole body feeling relaxed, with skin becoming rosy and smooth. The springs are quite effective for skin allergies, fatigue relief, beauty enhancement, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, and rheumatoid arthritis. The hot springs were developed quite early and, during the Japanese colonial period, were ranked among Taiwan’s four major hot springs along with Sihchongxi Hot Springs, Beitou Hot Springs, and Yangmingshan Hot Springs.

　　Guanziling Hot Springs is surrounded by peaks such as Pillow Mountain and Tiger Head Mountain. Starting from the hot spring area, visitors can also explore a variety of leisure and sightseeing spots along the way, including Volcano Biyun Temple, Baihe Daxian Temple, Red Leaf Park, and Water-Fire Crater. After soaking in the hot springs, tourists can tour these scenic areas for a truly rewarding experience.
