16-September-2008 16:15:11 - Taiwanese hot springs Taiwan is on the fault line where the Euro-Asian and Philippine continental plates meet. Therefore the island lies between an oceanic trench and volcanic system and this creates a unique environment that produces high-temperature springs with crystal-clear water, usually both clean and safe to drink. These hot springs are not only clean and potable but also commonly used for spas and resorts.

Under Japanese rule, the government constantly promoted and further enhanced the natural hot springs. The Japanese rule brought with them their rich onsen culture of spring soaking, which had a great influence on Taiwan. In March 1896, Hirado Gengo from Osaka, Japan opened Taiwan's first hot spring hotel, called Tenguan. He not only heralded a new era of hot spring bathing in Beitou, but also paved the road for a whole new hot spring culture for Taiwan. In the Japanese onsen culture, hot springs are claimed to offer many health benefits. As well as raising energy levels, the minerals in the water are commonly suggested to help treat chronic fatigue, eczema or arthritis. During Japanese rule, the four major hot springs in Taiwan were Beitou, Yangmingshan, Guanziling and Sichongxi. However, under ROC administration starting from 1945, the hot spring culture in Taiwan gradually lost momentum. It was not until 1999 that the authorities again started large-scale promotion of Taiwan's hot springs, setting off a renewed hot spring fever. In recent years, hot spring spas and resorts on Taiwan have gained more popularity. With the support of the government, the hot spring has become not only another industry but also again part of Taiwanese culture. Taiwan has one of the highest concentrations more than 100 hot springs and greatest variety of thermal springs in the world varying from hot springs to cold springs, mud springs, and seabed hot springs.
