The weather is chilly, and hot spring spots across Taiwan have attracted large crowds, especially the mud hot springs in Guanziling, Tainan, which see a steady stream of visitors on holidays. The Guanziling Hot Springs are unique because their mineral-rich waters mix with fine particles of mud from underground rock layers, earning them the nickname "black hot springs." With their excellent quality, they are ranked among Taiwan’s “Four Great Hot Springs” along with Yangmingshan, Beitou, and Sihchongxi.

Visiting Guanziling, besides warming up and relieving the cold, the most special aspect of the hot springs is the mineral-rich water mixed with fine mud particles and various minerals from underground rock layers, hence the name “black hot springs.” When you soak in the hot springs, apply the mud to your body, then rinse off with clean water, and you’ll notice your skin becoming noticeably smoother and softer. It’s a great way to relax and also rejuvenate your skin.
