Bulao Hot Spring, whose name in Chinese evokes the concept of 'forever young', is a natural thermal site in Wulai Township near Taipei, within the indigenous Atayal people's ancestral mountain territory south of Taiwan's capital. The bicarbonate-rich spring water, prized for its skin-revitalising properties consistent with the spring's evocative name, feeds outdoor pools and riverside bathing areas in a beautifully forested valley. The Wulai area, celebrated for its Atayal culture, hot springs, and traditional log raft rides on the Nanshi River, offers a comprehensive indigenous cultural and thermal experience close to Taipei.
