Tri-mountain National Scenic Area

Located at Waiping Village of Beipu Township, Beipu Cold Spring is one of the only two cold springs in Taiwan. Su’ao Cold Spring, the other cold spring of Taiwan, has clear water rich in calcium bicarbonate and its temperatures are maintained between 10 and 20℃ all year round. In contrast, Beipu Cold Spring is one of the rare springs containing both carbonic acid and sulfur. The slightly salty spring water is rich in minerals and sulfur that benefit the skin in numerous ways. However, the spring water turns brownish after sunlight exposure. Those who do not know the reason may mistakenly think that the water has been polluted!

The must-go spot to overcome sweltering heat and enjoy a cool summer.

There are facilities in the park such as suspension bridge, pavilion, foot spa and two spring pools, one deep and the other shallow. The check dam of Daping River at the front is a famous landmark. Between May and August, the cool spring water attracts many visitors to play with the water and fight the summer heat.

A romantic night trip of firefly watching 

In addition to a natural spot to escape the summer heat, Beipu Cold Spring is where you will visit to watch fireflies. From later April to May, many photography enthusiasts gather here to take photographs of the magical moments of numerous fireflies flying around. Visitors are urged to observe the following rules when planning the trip to watch the fireflies.

【Safety tips for watching fireflies】
1. As it can be dewy and chill at night, make sure to keep warm and not catch cold.
2. Please refrain from directing strong light or flashes at the fireflies as they can be badly disturbed.
3. Please cover your torchlight with a piece of red cellophane as red light will minimize the impact of light on the fireflies.
4. It is strictly prohibited to capture and bring fireflies home or damage the environment.
