Dakeng Hot Spring is a thermal bathing site in Nantou County in central Taiwan, drawing on bicarbonate-rich geothermal water from the island's active volcanic and geothermal zone in a peaceful mountain setting. The spring area, surrounded by the green mountains of central Taiwan, offers an authentic local hot spring experience away from the more commercialised resort areas of the north. Nantou County's spectacular Sun Moon Lake, the Alishan mountain forests, and the indigenous Thao culture provide exceptional complementary attractions for visitors to this central Taiwan thermal destination.
Insider tip — The 35°C bicarbonate waters of Tainan City are renowned for aiding digestion and softening the skin.
