Beitou Hell Valley, Hot spring in Beitou District, Taiwan
The sulfuric springs of Hell Valley emit continuous steam clouds while maintaining water temperatures above 80 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The thermal valley gained recognition during Japanese colonial rule when it became a prominent therapeutic destination for medical treatments and rehabilitation.
The mineral-rich waters contain radium-bearing rocks known as Hokutolite, named after the Beitou area where these rare stones were first discovered.
The thermal valley offers free admission and opens Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with several walking paths circling the steaming pools.
The springs contain one of only two known deposits of green sulfur in the world, creating waters with a distinctive blue-green color.
