Ruisui Hot Spring

Ruisui Hot Spring in Hualien County is one of Taiwan's most distinctive thermal sites, where iron- and chloride-rich saline spring water emerges along the Xiuguluan River — unusual in Taiwan for its high salinity and reddish mineral deposits. The spring area lies within the traditional territory of the Amis indigenous people, one of Taiwan's largest aboriginal groups, and cultural performances, traditional crafts, and indigenous cuisine are integral to the Ruisui visitor experience. The unique mineralogy, indigenous cultural heritage, and the spectacular Hualien rift valley landscape make Ruisui a truly distinctive Taiwanese thermal destination.
