Guanzihling Hot Springs

　　The Guanzihling Scenic Area is located in Baihe Town, Tainan County, and is famous for its hot springs, the phenomenon of fire and water springing from the same source, Guanzihling Park, Daxian Temple, and Biyun Temple. It is one of the most popular scenic areas in Tainan and is ranked among the island’s four major hot spring resorts, alongside Beitou, Yangmingshan, and Sihchih Creek.

　　The water of Guanzihling Hot Springs is very unique, appearing grayish-black, slippery, and with a strong sulfur smell. It is intended solely for bathing and is said to have notable therapeutic effects. A steep stone staircase of 290 steps beside the parking area of the hot spring zone leads all the way up to Guanzihling Park at the mountaintop. The park is lush with flowers and trees, creating a poetic atmosphere. About 4.8 kilometers ahead from the park, you will find the renowned “Fire and Water Springing from the Same Source.”
