Jiù Jīn Shān Zǒng Dūng Wēnquán, in New Taipei City, offers thermal water at 38°C (pH 7.3). The venue features indoor pools, a sauna, a hammam and massage treatments.
Insider tip — Jiu Jin Shan Zong Dung Wenquan sits in the Jinshan area of northern New Taipei City, close to the volcanic Cape Santiago peninsula where the Tatun Volcano Group shapes the geology of Taiwan's northern coast. The springs here emerge from volcanic rock and carry a mild sodium-chloride character, comfortably warm at around 38°C. Jinshan is easily reached from Taipei via the winding coastal highway, passing through the tea-growing hills of Yangmingshan. The town is famous for its duck and taro cuisine, making an afternoon soak the perfect conclusion to a day of coastal exploration.
