Reading Passage<\/h2>\n

Taiwan has many hot springs. Hot springs are pools of warm<\/strong> water from the ground. The water is heated by rocks deep in the earth<\/strong>. Many people visit hot springs to relax.<\/p>\n

The hot water is good for your body. It can help your muscles<\/strong> feel better. It can also make your skin soft. Some people say hot springs help them sleep<\/strong> well.<\/p>\n

\"Taiwan<\/figure>\n

Taiwan has different kinds of hot springs. Some water is clear. Some has minerals<\/strong> that are white or brown. Some hot springs smell like eggs! This is because of a gas called sulfur.<\/p>\n

Beitou is a famous<\/strong> hot spring area near Taipei. It has a hot spring museum<\/strong> and many pools. You can take a bus or MRT to get there. It is very popular with visitors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When you visit a hot spring, you should follow the rules. Take a shower<\/strong> first to get clean. Don’t stay in too long because the water is very hot. Hot springs are a special part of Taiwan!<\/p>\n
