Wanlijia Du Wenquan — 'Ten Thousand Li Family Crossing Hot Spring' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China, its expansive name invoking the image of a hot spring that has served countless travellers and families across a great distance — a crossing point for those journeying through the geothermal landscape of its region. Hot springs named for their hospitality to travellers reflect the traditional role of Chinese thermal springs as rest points and healing stations along major roads and trade routes, where the warm mineral water provided welcome relief after long and arduous journeys. The spring continues this tradition of therapeutic hospitality for the travellers and visitors of the modern era.
Insider tip — Wanlijia Du Wenquan is located in the Wanli District of New Taipei City, on the northern coast of Taiwan where the Tatun volcanic complex creates a dense cluster of hot spring outlets near the Pacific shore. The sulfurous water here has a characteristically milky appearance caused by dissolved sulfur compounds, and temperatures around 40°C suit extended soaking. The area sits between Yangmingshan National Park to the south and the ocean to the north, offering easy access from Taipei by bus or car along the scenic north coast highway. Weekend visitors crowd the area in autumn and winter, when cooler air makes the steaming pools especially inviting.
