Chingshui Hot Springs
Chingshui Hot Springs

This is certainly not Yellowstone or Volcano National Park, but you can see some of the geothermal activity in Taiwan at Chingshui.

Here, boiling water and steam come bubbling out of the rocks on a riverbed next to a small stream.  

This hot spring is too hot for bathing, so the locals use it for cooking corn, which they dip into the boiling water with long fishing nets.  So, if sulfur flavored corn sounds good to you, then have at it.  (I passed on this...)

Worth a stop if you are passing by this area....
