北投溫泉Hot Springs in Beitou, Taipei

【北投及新北投 Beitou & Xinbeitou】

簡介 Introduction

地熱谷又名地獄谷，發現至今已有200年歷史，為北投溫泉區觀光重點，以其溫泉露頭處一片荒蕪、熱氣彌漫，宛如地獄而得名。由於是酸性硫磺泉，不可飲用，此處泉溫常年保持在攝氏90℃左右，水量豐沛，呈灰色半透明狀，水底源源不絕冒出小水泡，目前礙於安全，已禁止遊客煮蛋。

Located next to the Xinbeitou Hot Spring Park in an area once also called Dire Dale or Hell Valley. Dire Dale is a scalding hot spring on Datuen Mountain. The water here is acidic and said to have medicinal properties. The temperature reaches 90℃, because the sulfuric water is hot enough to boil eggs and many tourists saw this as a must-do activity, which caused a lot of serious burns. Now the local government has set up fenced-off observation areas to "protect" the tourists.

【紗帽山 Shamaushan】

簡介 Introduction

紗帽山溫泉區沿著行義路上行，便可見路旁東側為以溫泉露頭著稱的磺溪。屬火山活動區，地熱蘊藏量豐富，泉質為酸性硫磺泉，水溫為攝氏56～80度，溪谷地表間熱氣蒸騰的常景為特色之一，景觀頗為特殊。區內建有多處大眾浴池，附近設有泡茶區，亦可品嚐野菜及土雞，但此處無住宿設備。

Sulfur discharge has made the valley to the east of Hsingyi Road barren and turned the earth yellow. This region is volcanically active and the rich resources of hot springs water often seep out, emitting steam into the air. Many hot spring hotels and restaurants have been established here, attracting many visitors. Lungfeng Hotsprings are separated from neighboring Fenghuang Hotsprings by no more than a mountain ridge, and the two hot springs areas are in fact connected by a number of hill trails. Locals also call these hotsprings draw water directly from the Huang River and water volume depends largely on rainfall. Fenghuang Hotsprings also called the “Matsu Cave Hotsprings”, these springs are located in Peitou’s Chuanyuanli, the same district as the Lungfeng Hotsprings. The Fenghuang Hotsprings are of a mild carbonic acid type, different from the sulfuric acid springs typical of volcanic regions and making them distinctive from the majority of springs the the Yangmingshan and Peitou areas. The spring water here is clear and due to its hogh iron content, have also been dubbed “ iron springs”. They were especially popular during the period of the Japanese occupation.
