Jiaoxi's "Heavy Taste" Hot Spring Fish: A Unique Tingling Sensation!

Tangweigou Hot Spring Park, Jiaoxi: Experience the "Heavy Taste" Doctor Fish SPA

When visiting Jiaoxi in Yilan, besides enjoying the hot springs, Tangweigou Hot Spring Park is a must-see attraction. In addition to the free foot soaking pools, the most popular experience is the unique "doctor fish" SPA. Imagine soaking your feet in the warm spring water, and a swarm of small fish immediately surrounds you, gently nibbling away the dead skin cells. That tingling, itchy feeling is sure to be both exciting and a little scary, making you exclaim in surprise!

The biggest feature of this establishment is that it offers as many as 8 to 12 different types or sizes of hot spring fish pools. The biggest difference from ordinary hot spring fish SPAs is the wide variety of fish and their larger size. In addition to the common Turkish algae eaters, there are many hot spring fish from different regions. They are particularly sensitive to odors and especially fond of nibbling on the dead skin on the soles of your feet. Each pool is divided into levels such as "Kindergarten," "Slight Shock," "Heavy Taste Hunger Force," and "Tough Character" depending on the type and size of fish, and the characteristics and "biting style" of the fish are clearly marked, making it suitable for all ages. At first, it may feel a little itchy, but gradually you will feel the skin on your feet become smooth and tender, as if reborn.

Shop staff usually recommend that visitors start by acclimatizing themselves to the small fish pools, and then gradually challenge the larger fish pools to achieve the best exfoliation and massage effects. During the foot bath, it is also recommended to pay attention to your own feelings, especially not to stay in the large fish pool for too long, to avoid discomfort. The experience is usually unlimited, and you can repeatedly change pools to experience different types of fish until you are satisfied.

In addition to traditional hot springs, this unique foot bath exfoliation experience not only promotes blood circulation but is also a popular parent-child attraction or tourist experience. This novel and interesting hot spring experience is a major feature of Jiaoxi hot springs.
