MENGHUAN POND

Possibly an ancient crater or volcanic depression, this pond has been classified as a water plant conservation area. It is located on the south face of Mount Qixing at an altitude of 850m. The richness of its soil has allowed the development of a rare species of ferns: the Taiwanese isoets. The place is lovely and is a pleasant walk. On the other hand, the endemic species that reside there are extremely vulnerable, and access to the pond is prohibited to visitors. The view can only be admired from an observation platform.
