Tainan Guanzailing Hot Spring

Guanzailing Hot Spring, located in Baihe District of Tainan City in southern Taiwan, is famous throughout Asia for its rare mud hot springs, where the thermal water is opaque and rich in suspended minerals that create a naturally occurring mud bath experience unique among Taiwan's many hot spring areas. The chloride-rich waters of Guanzailing have a distinctively whitish, cloudy appearance due to dissolved minerals from deep geological formations, and are celebrated in Taiwanese and Japanese spa tradition for their extraordinary skin-beautifying effects, earning Guanzailing the popular nickname of the hot spring that turns you beautiful. The ancient Zhuhu Temple and the surrounding hills of Tainan's inner mountain zone add a dimension of Taiwanese folk religion and lush green scenery to this famous spa resort.
