Tadafen Wenquan Pabu — 'Tadafen Hot Spring Waterfall' — is a naturally sulphurous geothermal spring in China that includes a waterfall feature — pabu — where naturally warm mineral water cascades down a rock face to create a therapeutic hydrodynamic bathing experience combining the mineral richness of hot spring water with the physical stimulation of falling water. Hot spring waterfalls are among the most spectacular and therapeutically effective geothermal bathing features, used in hydro-massage applications and celebrated for their combination of visual drama and physical benefit. The spring provides naturally sulphurous mineral water in a dramatically cascading waterfall setting.

Insider tip — Situated in the lush gorge country of Hualien, this sulfurous spring sits where volcanic geology meets Pacific coast scenery. The mineral-rich waters carry a light sulfurous scent typical of Taiwan's eastern rift valley springs. Pair your soak with a hike along the nearby river trail for a complete nature experience.
