Baolai Hot Spring is a thriving thermal resort town in Liugui District, Kaohsiung, set in the foothills of the Central Mountain Range where bicarbonate-rich hot spring water emerges along the fault lines of Taiwan's geologically active interior. The springs became internationally known following their resilience after the devastating 2009 Typhoon Morakot, and the rebuilt resort area offers a vibrant hot spring experience in a lush subtropical gorge setting. Baolai's alkaline bicarbonate water is traditionally praised for its skin-softening beauty water qualities and is among the most visited hot spring areas in southern Taiwan.
