Insider tip — Wenqian Lutou is located along the dramatic Rift Valley corridor in Hualien, where Taiwan's Central Mountain Range meets the Pacific tectonic plate boundary. Sulfurous springs here are fed by the same geothermal activity that produces earthquakes in this tectonically active zone. The surrounding scenery of steep forested gorges and the Xiuguluan River makes this one of Taiwan's more scenic bathing destinations.
