Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Dense, salty water — you float without effort.
Zhaori Hot Spring on Green Island (Lyudao) off Taiwan's Pacific coast is among the world's rarest thermal phenomena — one of only three marine hot springs globally where chloride-rich thermal water bubbles up directly from the seabed into the surrounding ocean, creating natural warm bathing pools adjacent to coral reefs. The setting on Green Island, a dramatic volcanic islet renowned for its coral ecosystems, scuba diving, and as the historic site of Taiwan's former political prison, is extraordinary in every respect. Bathing in Zhaori's pools as Pacific waves crash nearby and the stars appear overhead is an utterly unique and unforgettable thermal experience.
