TAIPEI | Bayen Hot Springs | Sunday

These sensational, smelly sulfur springs are located in Yangmingshan national park about an hour away from downtown Taipei by bus. The burning water rises to the surface to mingle with an icy clean waterfall, creating the perfect temperature for relaxation and healing. 

 Sulfur stained rocks.


Bright green escaping hatch for the gas. 

 Steaming stairs. 



 For Carrie, because she wants to see pictures of me and not Taiwan. LOL.

Ketteh guards the crops. I think this is a taro crop.   

 A wee touch of Ireland.

 Rice. 

A man, who must live up here on the mountain, tending to his land. 


A washing up station at a house on the mountain. 




 Bathers.

 The cold water source.

The mixing point for the hot and cold water. The hot was scalding hot. 

 Sulfur rock. 

 The hot water fall, steam rising in the light rainfall. 
The character says "Buddha."


Taiwan in a nutshell.
