While Taiwan is popular for its delicious foods like dim sum and beautiful sights like the lantern-filled village of Shifen, not many travelers consider its hot springs. Taiwan, like Japan and Korea, has a rich variety of over 100 hot springs, including rare ones like mud and underwater springs. Taiwan's hot springs gained popularity during the Japanese colonial period and saw a resurgence in the late 1990s. Attractions such as the Huang Chi Hot Spring offer unique experiences where dining can include a free hot spring bath. Combining health-focused tourism with culinary delights, hot spring locations like Samaosan near Taipei offer a distinctive cultural experience.
