Ga La He Ye Xi Wenquan is located in Xiulin, Hualien County, Taiwan, near Taroko Gorge. This thermal spring, around 38°C, is suited to open-air wild bathing.
Insider tip — Located in the Ga La He river gorge within Xiulin Township of northern Hualien, these springs emerge from the same marble and schist terrain that forms the spectacular Taroko Gorge. The clear thermal water with gentle mineralization flows year-round, fed by deep-seated crustal heat along the collision plate boundary. The gorge walls tower overhead, draped in subtropical vegetation, creating a natural cathedral atmosphere. The site is accessible only on foot, which preserves its pristine quality.
