Lishe Hot Springs are located in Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, in the high-altitude central mountains of Taiwan, where naturally heated oligomineral springs emerge at over 1,000 meters elevation in a landscape of aboriginal Bunun and Seediq indigenous community culture, ancient cypress forests, and the dramatic mountainous terrain that characterizes Taiwan's Central Mountain Range. The oligomineral thermal waters here offer high-altitude spa bathing in an area of exceptional natural beauty and indigenous cultural significance, where the Ren'ai Township's indigenous communities maintain traditional festivals, weaving arts, and ancestral land connections that have preserved a distinctive Taiwanese mountain culture over centuries. Bathing at Lishe Hot Springs amid the Central Mountains' mist-covered peaks, subtropical forests, and indigenous cultural landscape provides a uniquely Taiwanese wellness experience that combines geothermal mineral waters with immersion in the living heritage of Taiwan's aboriginal highland communities.

Insider tip — Lishe Hot Springs lie high in the Central Mountain Range of Nantou County, fed by sulfurous springs that emerge among dense cypress and cedar forests. The elevation keeps air temperatures cool even in summer, making the steaming pools particularly inviting, and the surrounding Hehuanshan alpine meadows offer some of Taiwan's finest high-altitude scenery. Arrive early on weekends as the resort fills quickly with hikers descending from nearby peaks.
