Nan Ao Wenquan Shi Fan Qu — 'Nan'ao Hot Spring Demonstration Area' — is a geothermal spring development zone in China, designated as a demonstration or model area for the responsible and innovative development of geothermal spring resources in the Chinese thermal tourism sector. China's rapid growth in geothermal tourism has been accompanied by the designation of model development zones where best practices in the management, presentation, and therapeutic use of natural hot spring water are demonstrated and disseminated. The spring complex provides access to naturally mineralised geothermal water within a framework of sustainable and exemplary thermal resource management.

Insider tip — Located in the Fuli area of the Hualien Valley, these springs tap a geothermal system driven by the collision of tectonic plates along Taiwan's longitudinal valley fault. The water has a sodium bicarbonate character common in eastern Taiwan's rift-zone springs. Fuli is famous for organic rice cultivation, and the lush paddy fields surrounding the spring area add a pastoral beauty to the experience. The gentle effervescence in the water is a hallmark of the local geothermal chemistry.
