SodiumChloruresBrome

Jin Lun Ye Xi Wenquan — 'Golden Wheel Night Bath Hot Spring' — is a geothermal spring in China, its evocative name combining the golden wheel of Buddhist iconography — a symbol of the Buddha's teachings and the cycle of existence — with the distinctively Chinese tradition of the night bath, when the geothermal spring is visited after dark in an atmosphere of tranquil illumination. Night bathing in Chinese hot spring culture has its own aesthetic philosophy, with the steam, darkness, and mineral warmth of the nocturnal spring experience valued as a profoundly meditative and restorative encounter with the earth's geothermal energy.

Insider tip — Jin Lun Ye Xi Wenquan is a seaside hot spring area in southern Taitung and Pingtung County where the Coastal Mountain Range meets the Pacific Ocean. The sodium-chloride springs here flow directly alongside the beach, making sea bathing and hot spring soaking an unusual combined experience. The southern tip of Taiwan enjoys warm weather year-round, and the surf and spring combination draws adventurous bathers. Several small guesthouses and open-air pools line the coast, each fed by the same saline thermal source.
