4.5/5
42 reviews
Green Island Zhaori Hot Spring is a rare underwater hot spring located inGreen IslandTo the southeast lies the Sailing Boat Nose Reef Intertidal Zone, where hot springs face the Pacific Ocean, offering views of the sun rising slowly from the sea. During the Japanese colonial period, it was famously known as the "Sunrise Hot Spring." Beyond soaking in the springs at dawn to watch the sunrise, visitors can listen to the waves at night, admire the starry sky, or even cook unique delicacies using the undersea hot springs. The waters here are also ideal for beginner and intermediate scuba diving, making for a uniquely relaxing hot spring getaway. The spring water here is crystal clear with temperatures around 60–70°C (140–158°F). It's a slightly acidic sulfate-chloride hot spring without strong sulfur odor, featuring a seawater-like saltiness. Gentle on human skin without causing irritation or stickiness after bathing, this rare saline hot spring offers a unique soaking experience. Green Island Zhaori Hot Spring can accommodate approximately 300 visitors, featuring complete spa facilities indoors. The coastal area of the hot spring zone has three circular open-air baths, along with semi-outdoor soaking pools and a large swimming pool. The water temperature in these baths naturally fluctuates with the tides, creating a unique natural sauna experience.Taitung · 42.8 km from downtown

Green Island is located in Green Island Township, Taitung County, where Cai Qin's "Green Island Serenade" was sung. You can enjoy the sapphire-like water here, interact with the innocent and lovely sika deer, dive into the seabed to explore the splendid underwater world, or rent a motorcycle to travel around this paradise, which is a leisure resort for family and friends. . The main attractions of Green Island are distributed on the cement road around the island with a length of about 16.3 kilometers. You can start from Nanliao Bay near the wharf and take a sightseeing bus around the island. The bus passes through 13 stops, and stops at the Human Rights Memorial Park, Guanyin Cave, Sleeping beauty and other attractions stop for a while, so that tourists can get off the bus and visit. If you want to travel in depth or rent a car, you need a motorcycle driver's license to rent a motorcycle in Taiwan. If you don't have a driver's license, try to choose an electric bicycle. There are many mountain roads in Ludao, and riding a bicycle is more exhausting. At night, you can ask the owner of the homestay to take you to see the sika deer. The sika deer are afraid of light and heat. They cannot hide during the day and can only be found at night. In the early morning, watching the sunrise in the hot spring of Asahi is also a unique enjoyment here. Lying in the open-air hot spring and meeting the first rays of dawn accompanied by the waves and sea breeze is really pleasant. After watching the sunrise, you can go snorkeling after going back to the B&B. This is a popular diving resort in Taiwan. The diving shop provides complete snorkeling equipment, life jackets and experienced instructors. Those who do not know how to dive can go to the fishing port. Take a sightseeing glass boat to enjoy the beauty of the seabed of Green Island.Taitung · 40.4 km from downtown

Sanxiantai was originally a headland, but gradually turned into an offshore island under the action of seawater erosion. Tourists who want to go to Sanxiantai can only wade through the water at low tide. In 1987, the sea-crossing bridge was completed, which not only facilitated tourists to cross the shore, but also became a well-known landmark on the east coast. Sanxiantai has obvious geological effects, the island is densely covered with strange rocks, and the phenomenon of sea erosion is remarkable. At the same time, due to the special geographical and climatic conditions, the coastal plants here are rich in species, such as Lintou, Baishuimu, etc. It is an important base for the study of coastal plant ecology.Taitung · 48 km from downtown

I couldn't get up to watch the sunrise, but it was still beautiful to soak in the hot springs at 9 o'clock. Each pool has a slightly different temperature and is not very deep, so it's suitable for both adults and children. You can come here to eat instant noodles and hot spring eggs. When we came, the corn was sold out. To cook the hot spring eggs, you have to go down the stairs to the beach and cook them at 95 degrees. It's very hot! Be careful, girls are recommended to bring their own strong hair dryers

Green Island is located in the southeast of Taiwan Province, China. It was formerly known as "Jixinyu", "Qingzaiyu" and "Huoshao Island". It is a volcanic island with hills and mountains. The highest point is Huoshao Mountain, which is 280 meters high. There are many cliffs in the southeast seaside area, and the southwest corner is a plain beach that is more than 10 kilometers long. The northwest coastal area is low-lying and is the main settlement of the island. There are many different opinions about the origin of the name Huoshao Island. The most popular one is the theory that the island was burned by a fire during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Green Island is the fourth largest affiliated island of Taiwan. Administratively, it belongs to Green Island Township, Taitung County, Taiwan Province. The residents on the island are mainly Han people (Minnan ethnic group) who immigrated from Xiaoliuqiu and Donggang in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Busy and great variety. More for food and games than shopping. A great group hangout. Fried food of all kinds!! Worth the walk through and play games if the kids are excited or you need a break to eat and chat with your friends or family!

The Yeyin tribe on the east coast has the most complete group of underground houses on the island. It is far away from the port and has preserved more of the original local appearance. You can also see the most beautiful sunrise. Balaguan B&B is highly recommended.

There are lush forests and clear Zhiben River winding through, forming waterfalls and suspension bridges. The forest park, which retains its natural appearance, is a paradise for bird watching in the east. Walking on the green forest trail, you can hear the chirping of birds from time to time, and see butterflies flying in the landscaped garden.

We passed by here on a day trip from Hualien to Kenting. I heard that the rice produced here is delicious, so the Chihshang bento is very famous. We tried it and it was OK. The overall cost-effectiveness of the lunch box is very high, and the content is rich. One person is quite full. Then there is Brown Avenue. The road is straight, and there are green rice fields on both sides, which is very beautiful.
