Introducing Guanziling (Kuanziling)
This small hot-spring village (Guānzǐlǐng) in northern Tainan County is famous for an old temple (now finally repaired and open to the public) and two geological oddities. The first oddity concerns the hot-spring water itself, which is a light grey ‘mud’ colour owing to the heavy mineral content. The second oddity is a cave where natural-gas flames burn continuously on top of a small pool of spring water. Either is a good reason to plan a day trip from Tainan or Chiayi.
