Ａ:When rain drops and goes below the ground, it would get heated and come back up to the surface, and when its temperature is more than human temperature or if it's 5 5℃ above the average temperature of the region, then it would be called a hotspring.

Ａ:There are three elements:
（1） presence of hot water underground.
（2） Still-water pressure which causes the hot water to go up.
（3） There must be long, deep cracks in the rock layers underground for the spring to go up through.

Ａ:Usually there are three types. The first one is called "Green spring".
They are underground water mixed with volcanic gas and small amounts of surface water. They are high in temperature and acidic, like the ones in Underground Valley. The second kind is called a white spring.
It's less hot and less acidic. The third kind is called iron spring, which is about 40 to 50 degrees celcius, located near Ding Baytow.

Ａ:Tremendous. Among the top 15 in the world.

Ａ:They come mainly from vapor springs, which means that we dig underground-heatholes, and when water passes through the vapors, they're heated, and thus form a man-made hotspring.

Ａ:It used to be a luxurious place for the Japanese and the rich to hang out in, and it wasn't until 1910 did the original Tanglong Bathplace become a public bathplace, and the memory of so many residents in
Baytow. In 1996, a bunch of elementary school children from Baytow Elementaryp Petitioned for the renovation of the place, and thus we are lucky to see what is now the hotspring museum.

Ａ:Tien-go An, opened in March, 1896, by the Japanese Pingtien Yunwoo.

Ａ:Baytow creek produces Baytow rocks, which are famous for containing small dosages of radium. Thus the Japanese are crazy about this place, because they're considered magical in Japan.

Ａ:It's only about 40℃, which is colder than most springs. But by definition, it is a hotspring.

Ａ:Baytow, Yangmingshan, and Green Island.

Ａ:It's what is now the Taipei Teachers' Training Center.

Ａ:Green spring is about 100 degrees, while the white spring is about 50 degrees. The green is good for cooking eggs and playing, while the white heals and is most suitable for middle-aged bath-takers.

Ａ:They resulted from the eruptions of the Dahtoon volcanic region. Even though it has not been active for a long time, but the underground water is still heated when they go through the underground region of this area, and thus hotsprings are formed.

Ａ:According to people who dip in public tubs, it is quite safe to take dips there because usually the people who are willing to show their body in public carry no disease. In addition, it might be safer to have people around in case of some emergency.

Ａ:Dipping is very similar to swimming. The body can not take too big of a change in temperature. Thus it is always recommended that people take a little warmup bath before entering a tub. People should start with their feet, and gradually work up their body. If the water seems too hot at first, the person may wish to take a half-dip, meaning that you only dip to breast height, and gradually dip the entire body.

Ａ:You should always start from a lower temperature tub. The advised time is about five minutes. You should stand up and rest for a while after five minutes. And if you wish, go back in. The cycle takes about half an hour to complete ( 6 dips ) and we don't advise you to dip more than three separate times a day. If your pulse raises up to over 120 times a minute, then it's time to get up.

Ａ:If you experience irregular heartbeat, or dizziness occurs, it's time to get up and leave. Always check the ventilation of the room you're dipping in.

Ａ:Dipping is an enjoyable thing. Thus we should share good things with friends. So we don't advise you to dip on your own, for safety reasons as well.

Ａ:３８－４２℃ is most suitable. Beware of speedy bloodflow resulting from dipping in overhigh temperature.

Ａ:Keeping yourself relaxed and at ease is one of the key elements to a successful dip. Thus it is always better not to make movements in a tub. Besides, such an action may irritate other dippers in the tub.

Ａ:To keep a balance within your body. You should always be careful not to drink too much coffee, tea, smoke, or consume alcohol before entering, lest too much stimulus to the body.

Ａ:Do not dip when hungry, full, sleepless, or when tired. Such acts may result in cardiac arrests or other medical conditions. Do not dip after drinking alcohol for the bloodflow may be too speedy. Women who are pregnant or are during their period should not dip, either. Patients with heart disease or other serious illness should not dip.

Ａ:No. Children under 12 should not dip. If parents insists on taking them for a dip, we recommend going to a kid's pool, where the temperature is lower.

Ａ:Most hotspring hotels offer such services, but it's in fact a wrong type of behavior. The recommended thing to do is simply relax after a dip because the bloodflow would be already fast. Adding a massage would simply make the body more uncomfortable.

Ａ:The correct way to dip is to lie in a tub and quietly relax and enjoy the water on your skin. Some hotspring s are hot and wearing a bathing suit might be too dangerous for the body temperature may rise to a certain level. So only wear a bathing suit when the water temperature is quite low.

Ａ:It is not safe to do that. The eyes lose its ability to produce tears for a short while immediately following a dipping session. Thus germs may grow easier within the eyes during that period of time. And being in a hot and dry environment adds to the danger.

Ａ:According to people who dip in public tubs, it is quite safe to take dips there because usually the people who are willing to show their body in public carry no disease. In addition, it might be safer to have people around in case of some emergency.
