As winter arrives and the cold sets in, soaking in a rejuvenating hot spring while admiring breathtaking scenery is the dream of most travelers. Near the Laidu Tribe in Taitung lies a mysterious paradise on Earth — the recently viral Taiwanese hidden gem on IG, Lisong Hot Spring. Here, mineral-rich water cascades down the mountain cliffs, where calcium carbonate crystals have formed on the rock faces. Combined with the emerald-green thermophilic algae clinging to the minerals, the vibrant hues create walls that look as if they were cast from jade, making this spot one of the most famous landscapes.
