A geothermal landscape on the western slope of Yangmingshan along the Yangjin Highway, larger and less confined than Beitou Thermal Valley further downhill. Mountain stream water is channeled through geothermally active ground to absorb volcanic gases, resulting in a yellowish-white acidic sulfate spring with a pH of 3 to 5. There is a small park next to the open collection pools emitting steam.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
