Fire and Water Spring, Natural hot spring in Guanziling Scenic Area, Taiwan
The Fire and Water Spring features methane gas rising through rocks, creating flames that burn directly above the flowing water surface.
A Fujianese monk from Daxian Temple first recorded the spring's natural gas flames in 1701, marking its presence in written documentation.
The spring connects to local folklore about a creature named Kirin, whose head represents the fire and water cave extending to Hongye Tunnel.
Visitors can reach the spring via County Highway 172, which connects to Provincial Highway 3 between Chiayi and Tainan cities.
The spring maintains a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius and contains mineral-rich mud properties beneficial for skin conditions and rheumatism.
