Haiyu Xi Wenquan — 'Sea Fish Creek Hot Spring' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its name evoking a spring associated with a small stream or creek populated with fish from the sea or a coastal estuary, creating an image of a naturally vibrant aquatic environment where geothermal warmth sustains a rich ecosystem. Fish-associated hot springs are a significant category in East Asian thermal bathing culture, where certain warm springs hosting small fish that nibble dead skin cells from bathers have become celebrated therapeutic and recreational destinations. This spring provides warm, sulphurous mineral water in a naturally biodiverse creek setting.

Insider tip — Haiyu Xi Wenquan is a streamside sulfurous spring tucked into the green valleys of southern Taiwan near the Pacific coast. The hydrogen-sulfide waters carry a mild eggy scent and leave skin silky after a soak. Rocky outdoor pools overlook a clear mountain stream, offering a raw, natural atmosphere rare in this corner of Taiwan. Arrive early in the morning before tour groups make the journey down the narrow access road.
