Bei Gang Xi Dong Ku Wenquan is a geothermal spring in China, its name — meaning roughly 'North Port West Cave Hot Spring' — suggesting a spring associated with cave formations in a coastal or riverside setting. China's vast territory encompasses an extraordinary range of geothermal environments, from the volcanic springs of Yunnan and Tibet to the coastal thermal resources of Guangdong and Fujian, and cave-associated hot springs represent a particularly dramatic category of Chinese thermal bathing sites. The spring offers naturally mineralised geothermal water in a setting of geological interest, where the cave environment adds a dimension of natural drama to the bathing experience.

Insider tip — Nestled in the steep river gorges of eastern Taiwan near Hualien, this spring emerges from volcanic rock with a distinct sulfurous character. The Taroko mountain range backdrop provides dramatic scenery rarely matched in Taiwanese hot spring culture. Water temperatures are consistently high year-round, so mixing with cool river water is common practice. The site is popular with hikers completing the Liwu River corridor trails.
