Lu Lu Wenquan is located in Ruisui, Hualien County, Taiwan, an area known for its sulfurous springs. The water, warm at around 38°C, is suited to open-air wild bathing.
Insider tip — Nestled in the Xiuguluan River valley of eastern Taiwan, these springs rise through slate and marble of the Central Mountain Range, carrying sulfurous minerals from deep fault systems. The Ruisui area is known for its sodium bicarbonate springs as well as sulfurous vents, and this site sits at the crossroads of both geochemical types. The Tropic of Cancer passes through the region, giving the surrounding valley a subtropical lushness. River rafting on the Xiuguluan nearby can be combined with a restorative post-adventure soak.
