Dongpu Hot Spring Nantou

Dongpu Hot Spring is a celebrated high-altitude thermal resort in Xinyi Township of Nantou County in central Taiwan, situated at approximately 1,148 meters elevation in the upper watershed of the Laonong River within the Yushan (Jade Mountain) National Park area — a region of extraordinary alpine scenery centered on Northeast Asia's highest peak at 3,952 meters. The sulfurous thermal waters are part of a long thermal tradition associated with well-being, while the cool mountain air and surrounding primeval forests of Taiwan's central mountain range provide an exceptionally pure natural environment for thermal bathing. The Dongpu area's indigenous Bunun tribal heritage and traditional weaving, hunting, and musical traditions add a culturally distinctive layer to this remote mountain hot spring experience.
