A new hot spring area will open to the public on Dec. 8 following a six-month delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Located within the extremely popular Cingshuei Geothermal Park, managed by the Yilan County Government, the hot spring will be marketed as “Cingshuei Springs.” During the first week of operation, the hot spring baths will open its doors to 120 people per day to bathe free of charge.
Cingshuei Geothermal Park is a natural alkaline hot spring area and the park already boasts a hot spring pool for cooking food in addition to foot baths. Yilan County Government invested NT$77 million to construct a new hot spring area, comprising a scenic entrance area, customer service area and eight hot spring pools. The pools are all public pools, four female and four male, which each accommodate up to 100 bathers.
At the beginning of the year, the operating licence for Cingshuei Springs was granted to Jiaosi’s No.9 Hotel and original plan was to begin operating by mid-May. However, after a serious outbreak of COVID-19 swept across the nation, at the last minute the plug was pulled on hot springs’ grand opening. However, once the virus outbreak had begun to subside, Dec. 8 was settled upon as the date for Cingshuei Springs’ opening ceremony and visitors will be able to begin using the bathing facilities on the afternoon of the same day.

During the first week of trial operation, visitors will be limited to 120 persons per day. Thereafter, admission into the Cingshuei Springs area will be free of charge, excepting a car parking fee on entry into Cingshuei Geothermal Park. An adult ticket for the baths will cost NT$80.

清水地熱公園泉質是鹼性泉，現有溫泉煮食池及泡腳池，宜蘭縣政府投入七千七百萬元新設泡湯區，增建入口景觀區、公共服務區、八座泡湯池。泡湯池屬於大眾池，男、女湯各四座，可同時容納一百人。
泡湯區今年初由「礁溪九號」公司取得經營權，原訂五月中旬營運，因碰上本土疫情爆發臨時喊停，由於疫情趨緩，決定在十二月八日上午舉辦開幕式，下午開放遊客進場泡湯。
開幕的第一週，每天招待一百二十名遊客體驗；清水地熱公園只收停車費免門票，若要泡湯另外付費，全票八十元。

Its tracks wound through a large forest of tall trees, offering stunning views of the region’s natural beauty. Let’s get aboard now and let the train carry us back to the early days of the railway, when the tracks were first laid through this wooded forest. After Japan took control of Taiwan in 1895, the government recognized the value of Alishan’s wood, but transporting timber from such rough terrain was no easy task. The railway skillfully dealt with the steep slopes
