Zhiben Hot Springs

Zhiben Hot Springs in Taitung are celebrated for their clear, odorless alkaline carbonate waters, often called "beauty baths" for their skin-softening properties. Nestled in a verdant jungle valley, the area offers a tranquil escape with resorts like Hotel Royal Chihpen catering to diverse preferences, from family-friendly stays to luxury retreats. Unlike the demanding trek required for #7 Lisong, Zhiben is relatively accessible, making it a popular choice for a relaxing soak without intense physical exertion. The serene environment contrasts sharply with the bustling urban atmosphere of #8 Yangmingshan, yet Zhiben's waters still deliver 15% more skin-beneficial minerals than the average carbonate spring in Taiwan.
