There are hot springs in many places on the earth. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but they are also unique. The following is a selection of the world’s top 5 characteristic hot springs. If you still need to decide where to travel, follow the hot springs!
Iceland – Blue Lagoon
Iceland has the hottest springs in the world, and the Blue Lagoon is one of the must-see attractions. The Blue Lagoon is a geothermal hot spring formed after seawater and geothermal heating. The average temperature in mid-year is maintained at 37°C-39°C/98ºF-102ºF because the water is rich in silica (Silica), minerals (Minerals), and seaweed (Algae), and the refraction of sunlight make the water of the blue lake appear blue or blue-green, which is very beautiful.
Turkey – Pamukkale
Pamukkale, like a fairyland in Turkey, is located in western Turkey and has been known for its hot springs since the establishment of the Roman Empire in 190 BC. There are a total of 17 hot springs here. Because the hot spring water is rich in “carbonate minerals,” the spring water gushes out from the ground and flows slowly down the terraced fields on the hillside, forming white petrified waterfalls, stalactites, and lakes. National Geographic The channel once rated Pamukkale as “one of the 50 wonders of the world that must be visited in a lifetime.”
New Zealand – Mud Spa
New Zealand’s North Island is rich in geothermal resources, not only the world’s largest “hot water waterfall” but also the volcanic mud springs in the Hells Gate Geothermal Reserve. Hell’s Gate is the most active geothermal park in Rotorua, New Zealand. Fumaroles, hot water lakes, sulfur crystals, and sediments can be seen everywhere, and volcanic mud is regarded as a treasure by the aboriginal Maori.
Japan – Kusatsu Onsen
In 2021, “100 Hot Springs in Japan” ranked first “Kusatsu Onsen,” which has won the championship for 19 consecutive years. “Kusatsu Onsen” is located in Gunma Prefecture. It is Japan’s hot spring with the most significant natural gushing volume. It is said that more than 32,300 liters of hot spring water can be gushed out every minute. The pH of the spring is pH2.1, which has solid bactericidal power and is loved by tourists worldwide.
Taiwan – Sulfur Springs
Taiwan is located at the junction of plates, and there are many volcanoes in the territory. The uncooled magma below these volcanoes heats the groundwater into hot water and ejects it, forming the famous hot springs. The Beitou Hot Spring in northern Taiwan is a sulfur hot spring formed by the geothermal heat of the Datun Volcano. Although hot spring water containing hydrogen sulfide has a unique spicy taste, it helps relieve physical and mental tension, so Taiwanese people also like it.

Could Thai durian export duty mean higher prices, higher quality in China?
A Thai government proposal to charge export duties on durians, a major cash crop, could raise prices for the fruit in China – its primary market – along with the quality, analysts said.
