1978, then Prime Minister Jiang Jingguo inspected Tai 'an Township and changed Hushan Hot Spring to Tai 'an Hot Spring. The source of the hot spring is located halfway up the mountain to the east of Yunshui Villa, and it takes about half an hour to swim up from the villa.
Because the spring cave is high, the spring water gushes along the sandstone cracks sandwiched in the shale, and the spring water can reach the villa through the diversion pipe. Moreover, the water resources are abundant and inexhaustible all year round. The water body is clear and transparent, the water temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature in spring is about 62 degrees Celsius. The spring water is a weak alkaline sodium bicarbonate spring. Several hot spring strongholds with a long history in Tai 'an, such as Hushan Hot Spring, Longteng Mountain Villa and Jingguang Mountain Villa, are all transported by pipeline, citing Tai 'an Hot Spring.
At present, the utilization of hot springs in Tai 'an is mainly based on hot spring hotels, hotels and homestays, which have flourished after a hundred years of development. Nowadays, many hot spring hotels and homestays are built on the hillside, each with its own style, including Hushan Hot Spring Hotel, which is independent from the sandbar and connected by suspension bridges, with a quiet environment; Nestled under the Henglong Mountain, the mountains are green, and you can enjoy the beauty of the mountains and rivers in all seasons.
There is also the Guanzhi Hot Spring Club in Tai 'an, which emphasizes the concept of minimalism and presents a kind of integration with nature with small nanmu. The Sunrise Hot Spring Hotel, which is characterized by the Nanyang style of Ridao and the simple Zen style of Japanese style, combines the Longteng Mountain Villa with special physical training and the Guangjin Mountain Villa, which is noble and cheap and enjoyed by civilians, and presents a variety of hot spring styles.
Lin Zhenfeng, director of Miaoli County International Cultural Tourism Bureau, said that after a hundred years of vigorous development, hot spring hotels and hotels in Tai 'an have reached a considerable scale. In the hot spring area of Taiwan's western corridor, Tai 'an Hot Spring has the most convenient traffic, which can be reached by half an hour's drive from Zhongshan Gaomiaoli overpass to Longwenshui East-West Expressway via Taiwan Province Line 72.
Lin Zhenfeng said that Tai 'an hot spring area has not been developed in large quantities, and it still retains virgin forests and is rich in indigenous tribal culture. It is a good place for leisure travel, and it is close to the strawberry area of the Great Lakes. You can also pick strawberries, taste Hakka dishes, experience nature, be rich and varied, and definitely return the ticket price.
