Qingquan Wenquan — 'Clear Spring Hot Spring' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its poetic name celebrating the clarity and purity of the water that emerges from this thermal source — a quality particularly prized in Chinese geothermal culture, where the visual transparency of spring water is associated with mineral purity. China's hot spring culture, with its deep roots in classical tradition and Daoist philosophy, has always placed great value on the visual, tactile, and sensory qualities of mineral spring water. This spring's clear, sulphurous water invites bathers into an aesthetic encounter with China's geothermal heritage.
Insider tip — Emerging from the marble gorges of the Liwu River watershed in the Taroko area of Hualien, these springs rise along major fault lines cutting through the Central Mountain Range. The water carries a clear sulfurous signature from volcanic heat conducted through the deep metamorphic bedrock. Taroko Gorge's dramatic marble cliffs loom above, creating one of Asia's most scenic thermal bathing environments. The spring is remote enough to deter casual visitors, ensuring tranquility for those who make the effort.
