CHUHUO AND ITS SURROUNDINGS

By taking Highway 200 from Hengchun, you will soon arrive at Chuhuo, which marks entry into the national park. The road is then littered with wonderful landscapes, including the waterfall of Chikung, about five kilometres further, turning on the left. The particularity of Chuhuo lies in its natural gas leaks on the surface, with eternal flames that arise in the middle of sand and rocks. The effect is spectacular, except in summer, when the rain sometimes causes small mudslides that obstruct the openings temporarily.
