Su-ao Cold Spring, Natural cold spring in Su'ao Township, Taiwan.
Su-ao Cold Spring is a natural water source in Suao with distinctive mineral content and high carbonic ion levels that make the water naturally fizz. The spring maintains the same temperature year-round and produces water with these special properties consistently.
This spring was discovered in 1928 by Japanese military forces and was later developed as a local attraction. Since then, the site has grown into a destination with a long visiting tradition.
The water from this spring is used by locals to make Yokan, a traditional jelly dessert that has been part of the area's food culture for many decades. This sweet treat has become a well-known souvenir people bring home from the region.
The site is easy to reach and has set opening hours that make it simple to plan a visit. The nearest train station is within walking distance and offers convenient access.
This is Taiwan's only calcium hydroxy carbonic spring with natural carbonation that forms on its own. The water naturally bubbles like a store-bought fizzy drink without any artificial intervention.
