Only during rainy season can visitors observe the beauty of the 6 meters wide and 25 meters high waterfall.

Visitors can enjoy the quiet and peaceful scenery here. Climbing up the steep cliff and standing at the rock on the top of the waterfall, you can see Turtle Island from afar. Traveling further into the valley at the upstream of the waterfall, you can see weathered grottos and feel that you are in a water curtain cave. As crossing the rocks and climbing up the cliff is difficult and dangerous, but the beautiful scenery at the top is worth giving it a try. There is a rumor saying that if lovers ascend Houtong Waterfall together, they will unit harmoniously and become a family. You may give it a try and prove if the rumor is true.

Su’ao Cold Spring is the only calcium bicarbonate spring in Taiwan. The spring temperature is about 22°C. As the insects, fish and shrimp that accidentally enter the spring will be unable to survive due to its rich CO2 content, the spring was once regarded as poisonous. It was not until the Japanese Colonial Period when the Japanese soldier Takenaka Shinkage discovered the spring to be crystal clear and sweet after tasting it, that people realized the benefits of this spring.

On the hot summer day, scooping the spring water up and watching the water splashing through the air will eliminate your summer heat instantly; or lie in the cold spring like an elegant fish and let it cool your body and mind. The charm of Su’ao Cold Spring is truly irresistible.

The old-school marble soda and the sweet yokan are famous local products, and were made with Su’ao Cold Spring water in the early days. Now, the marble soda has entered history, while the yokan has become the number one gift of Su’ao and the pride of Su’ao. When you come to Su’ao, don’t forget to try the sweet yokan; it will fill your heart with happiness.

Located around 1,640 feet (500 metres) north of Jiaoxi Railway Station, Jiaoxi Hot Spring Park was formerly Yuanshan Park. This small park has been around since the era of Japanese rule. The public bathhouse left by the Japanese has been redesigned as a Japanese-style hot spring pool where you can enjoy a free foot bath. The hot spring is a weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate spring with a temperature of around 50 °C, making it a very popular “beauty bath” with young women. Follow the trail next to the bamboo forest, and you’ll reach a forest bathhouse with red lanterns and a fantastic view. For just a small entrance fee you can enjoy unlimited forest bathing. There are gender-separated baths for nude bathing. There’s also an open-air performance stage, an outdoor café, singers from time to time, occasional group performances and various themed events every autumn and winter, making it a great place for relaxation with friends and family.
