Hot Spring Fever 天涼好泡湯
|
Although winter is nearly over, you can still enjoy hot springs. Soaking in a hot spring is just the answer for people who are looking to warm up, relieve tension, or soothe skin. There are more than 100 hot springs across the island for people to experience and enjoy. As a result, hot spring spas have become some of Taiwan’s greatest tourist attractions. Beitou, Yangmingshan, Guanziling in Tainan, and Sichongxi in Pingtung County are known as the four main hot spring areas in Taiwan.
It is not uncommon to see people going for a dip in roadside pools of hot water. For those more serious about soaking, Green Island is home to one of the world’s three seabed hot springs. There, milk-colored water flows out of the ocean floor and blends with the salty seas of the Pacific Ocean.
Taiwan’s hot springs offer many health benefits. Soaking in the hot mineral water is believed to increase energy levels as well as help treat exhaustion, skin problems, and sore muscles. It goes without saying that it is the ultimate way to relieve stress. |

雖然冬天已經快結束了，您還是可以享受溫泉。對那些想要暖暖身子、紓壓還有滋潤肌膚的人而言，泡溫泉正是解決方案。全台灣有超過一百處以上的溫泉等著人們去體驗與享受。因此，溫泉浴場就變成台灣最具觀光賣點的地方。北投、陽明山、台南的關子嶺，還有屏東縣的四重溪，這些被稱為是台灣的四大溫泉勝地。
看到人們泡在馬路邊的熱水池是件稀鬆平常的事。對那些認真泡溫泉的人來說，綠島是世上三大海床溫泉的所在地之一。在那邊，乳白色的溫泉水會從海床流出，並與太平洋的海水交融在一起。
台灣的溫泉對健康大大有益。泡在熱呼呼的礦泉裡據說能增強元氣並治療疲勞、皮膚及肌肉酸痛等問題。不用說，泡溫泉是一種紓壓的終極方法。 |
