Hongquan Hot Spring Resort boasts the very first geothermal well drilled in Zhiben. It turns out that in the early days, CPC Corporation Taiwan was exploring geothermal energy in Zhiben and struck the “Zhiben No. 1 Hot Spring Well” at a depth of 1,460 meters, which is located right in the resort’s garden. The purity of the hot spring water speaks for itself. The open-air hot spring spa features pools with cold, warm, and hot water, along with massage facilities such as hydro jets by the pools. The guest rooms are decorated in a simple and clean style, equipped with full bathroom amenities, and the taps in the bathrooms even flow with hot spring water—perfect for those who prefer not to soak in public open-air baths.

This resort has conducted a hot spring water quality analysis, confirming that the spring has a pH value of 8.71, classifying it as an alkaline sodium bicarbonate spring, also known as a “heavy soda spring.” In Japan, it is referred to as “Beauty Spring.” (Image provided by MK Editorial Team)
