Sulfur Springs Valley feet pool — Attraction in Taipei

Super cool relatively large area of volcanic active boiling hot springs, with several hot pools for foot baths.

This area is a decommission sulfur mine dating back 400 years when it was first extracted by Chinese in the XVII century. Few information boards scattered along the scenic path explain horrific conditions initially sulfur was harvested.

XVIII centrum extraction was banned and the area was controlled by the Chinese military. Extraction restarted once again in the XIX century under colonial rule, before it was finally once again closed down recently when this area became tourist destination.

There are exposed boiling water wells. You can not get close to those but you can see small gazers of steamed water being ejected every few seconds.

I spent around 45 minutes all in all at the complex. 30 min bathing my feet in hit water. The water indeed is pretty hot. Lots of local retirees visits this place for relaxation. There are toilets and foot shovers at the park. Car park for around 20 cars and 20 scooters. One vegetables stall where I think it's also possible to buy drinks. And few cold dindringking water fountains.

Place is well maintaines and in general very lovely. I'm jealous of Taiwan this kind of places exist and are free to use....

You can see the springs from far and see the smoke rising from burning sulfur mines.
