Liukou Hot Spring

Liukou Hot Spring is located in Haiduan Township, Taitung County, at the 179K mark of the Southern Cross-Island Highway. Travelers passing through this area will often see many visitors relaxing and soaking their feet, as well as local residents bringing simple utensils to steam hot spring eggs. Liukou Hot Spring actually originated in the early days of constructing the Southern Cross-Island Highway, when road workers discovered hot spring water gushing from the rock face. They then dug holes to channel the water, using it for relaxation and stress relief after their work. In 2008, after the East Rift Valley National Scenic Area Administration refurbished and reconstructed the site, it became the clean and comfortable Liukou Hot Spring Pools.
