Antong Hot Spring, located in Ruisui Township of Hualien County on Taiwan's magnificent east coast, draws on bicarbonate thermal waters that emerge from the geology of the Coastal Mountain Range, offering a peaceful and traditional onsen-style experience in one of Taiwan's least-developed regions. The moderately alkaline waters are valued for their mildness and mineral balance, making them suitable for extended therapeutic soaking and skin care. The East Rift Valley setting of Hualien County, where the Pacific Ocean, the Coastal Mountains, and the Central Mountain Range converge to create some of the island's most spectacular scenery, places Antong among Taiwan's most scenically privileged thermal destinations.

Insider tip — Antong Hot Spring sits inside Hualien County's Xiuguluan River valley, accessible via a narrow mountain road through dense subtropical forest home to Amis indigenous communities. The bicarbonate-sodium water is colorless and gentle, delivered into both communal pools and private wooden-tub rooms within a handful of small resort operations. The spring's remote position 30 kilometers from the coast means visitor numbers remain low even during peak Taroko Gorge travel season.
