Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Mt. Lushan Hot Spring, located in Ren'ai Township of Nantou County in central Taiwan, is a radon-bearing carbonate spring set amid the dramatic mountain scenery of the Central Mountain Range, accessible from the Wushe highland plateau. The spring's radioactive radon content places it in a specialised therapeutic category used in Taiwan for rheumatological and circulatory treatments, following balneological traditions imported from Japan during the colonial period. Taiwan's hot spring culture (温泉, wēnquán) was profoundly shaped by Japanese onsen traditions, and Lushan's mountain setting, historic development, and mineral variety make it one of the island's most revered thermal destinations.
