As far back as 1917, the local aborigines of Beinan nationality discovered that steam came out from the bottom of the river bed of zhibenxi when they were digging up land for cultivation. When they went to bathe, they found that it was quite effective for skin diseases and various kinds of trauma, so they called it "holy water". After that, the aborigines often went to dig springs to bathe in the open air, and even built huts on the banks of the streams. During the period of Japanese occupation, the construction of public baths and hotels began in Zhiben hot spring. Since 1981, there has been private investment in the construction of new tourist hotels, all of which have become famous scenic spots in Taiwan.
