Bayan Hot Spring, Natural thermal spring in Jinshan District, Taiwan
The Bayan Hot Spring features multiple natural pools within the Yangmingshan forest, where warm water emerges from underground volcanic sources near the Huangxi River.
The thermal pools at Bayan Hot Spring underwent changes in 2017 when severe flooding altered the landscape and destroyed a nearby waterfall, leading to natural recovery.
The thermal waters of Bayan Hot Spring developed into a bathing tradition during the Japanese colonial period, reflecting Taiwan's connection to natural spring practices.
Visitors reach Bayan Hot Spring via bus 1717 from Taipei Main Station to Jinshan, followed by a downhill walk and a trail beside the Huangxi River.
The spring contains a mixture of hot water from fumarole sources and cold river water, creating pools with varying temperatures throughout the natural setting.
