Wunshan Hot Spring, Natural hot spring in Fushi Village, Taiwan
Wunshan Hot Spring is a natural thermal source in Fushi Village, situated within the Tianxiang Recreation Area and surrounded by mountain terrain. The waters emerge near the Dasha River and carry mineral content that distinguishes them from ordinary water sources.
A Japanese military officer discovered the thermal waters in the early 1900s and initially named them Shenshuei before the site received its current name in 1960. A significant rockslide in 2005 altered the landscape and changed how people could access the natural pools.
Hot spring bathing forms part of a regional wellness tradition that draws people seeking the supposed therapeutic effects of the mineral waters.
Access via Provincial Highway 8 is possible through various transport options such as scooter rental, public buses, or cars arranged from Hualien. The mountain setting means sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness help navigate the terrain comfortably.
The carbonic acid content in the water gives it a distinctive chemical composition that sets it apart from other thermal sources in the area. This particular mineral makeup is what draws people specifically seeking these types of waters for bathing.
