Can I soak in hot springs in summer?
There are no special restrictions on soaking in hot springs.
In people's impression, you can only soak in hot springs in winter. If you go to a hot spring in summer, the first reaction is: heat. Yes, it's very hot in summer, and the temperature and water temperature are very high, which makes people afraid. So most people choose to soak in hot springs in winter. In fact, there are no special seasonal restrictions on hot springs. Hot springs in Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Japan, Europe and other countries are healthy leisure ways that can be enjoyed all year round.
Soaking in hot springs is actually a very good activity to relieve summer heat and cool down. When people soak in hot springs, the pores will open quickly and the heat in the body will be released. Through repeated soaking, the whole body is like eating mints, which can completely eliminate the sultry body and treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. On the contrary, if people soak in cold water directly, the stimulated pores will close immediately. Although the skin will feel cool, the heat in the body can't be completely discharged, and it will still feel very hot after a while, which can't really cool down. This is why taking a hot bath in summer can relieve the heat better than taking a cold bath.
Moreover, hot springs are mostly located in places with beautiful scenery and good vegetation, and are also very suitable for summer vacation and leisure. After soaking in hot springs, bathing in the mountain breeze and enjoying the beautiful colors everywhere, it must be very cool this summer.
