In the future, the hot spring water from other three wells will be surveyed and tested in this model continuously.

    In the morning, County Magistrate Lin also visited Lushan Hot Spring Zone to inspect the hanging bridge, the roads, and other infrastructure construction. Local residents and the operators responded that the roads on the two ends of the hanging bridge are too narrow and steep. Drivers and pedestrians may get slipped easily. Moreover, the hanging bridge swings seriously. Neither is there any lighting at night. It may cause danger easily. They hope the county government will solve these problems soon.

    Regarding these suggestions, County Magistrate Lin expressed that Lushan Hot Spring Zone has already been suspended and is regarded at a preserved area. But there are still residents in this area. Their living environment should still be taken care of. Many of the infrastructure constructions are old and broken, causing much inconvenience to local residents. Improvements to these conditions are necessary. He appointed the Department of Tourism and Department of Public Works to repair and reinforce the hanging bridge and lighting during the nighttime, improvement of the slope land and the safety in lanes and alleys. Maintenance and improvement will be conducted to guarantee people’s safety.
