It's time for a fun summer trip to enjoy hot springs.

Among Eastern Taiwan's abundant hot springs, the East Rift Valley boasts several renowned hot springs. Unlike a typical hot spring experience in winter, a summer trip to enjoy hot springs in the East Rift Valley under the stable climate alongside picturesque countryside scenery and rich produce is even better! Many seasoned travelers never miss out on the opportunity to tour the East Rift Valley on a hot spring getaway while devouring local delicacies. According to Director Guo Zhen-Ling of the East Rift Valley Administration, the East Rift Valley Hot Spring Festival has expanded its featured areas to include Wulu, Luye, and Zhiben in Taitung in addition to Ruisui and Antung. Endeavoring to draw visitors all over the island to the diverse beauty the East Rift Valley has to offer, various hot spring hotels, as well as the local industry consisting of delicacies and souvenirs, are highlighted. Director Guo also expressed gratitude to the Tourism Industry Association for Ruisui Hot Springs of Hualien County, Antung Hot Spring Tourism Association of Hualien County, Association for the Tourism Promotion of Zhiben Hot Spring, and the Tourism Association of Taitung County for their support in organizing the festival. The administration looks forward to more future collaboration.
