Tai'an Hot Spring

　　   Tai'an Hot Spring is situated by the Wenshui Stream in Jinshui Village, Tai'an Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan, with its back to Tiger Head Mountain. It is said that the two characters “Jinshui” in Hakka mean “water for soaking in hot springs,” hence the local community continues using the name “Jinshui” to indicate to visitors that this area is a hot spring district. The hot spring was developed as early as during the Japanese colonial period and was originally named Ueshima Hot Spring. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978), President Chiang Ching-kuo visited the site and renamed it Tai'an Hot Spring.

　　   In addition to the main Tai'an Hot Spring at its source, the hot spring area also includes Tenglong Hot Spring and Hushan Hot Spring. Tai'an Hot Spring is located on a mountainside and is classified as an alkaline carbonated spring. Its water is colorless and odorless, with a temperature of around 47 degrees Celsius and a pH value of 8. It is a highly popular hot spring pool. Bathing in Tai'an Hot Spring leaves the skin smooth and refreshed, earning it the reputation of being the “Beauty Spring.”

　　   Not only does it have excellent water quality, but the scenery of the Tai'an Hot Spring area is also stunning, featuring many attractions. For example, the famous Hushan Suspension Bridge is located within the hot spring area and features an observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the valley.
