"Located in Hengchun Town of Pingtung County, Taiwan, Hengchun Chuhuo (Eternal Flame) is an ecological wonder that is about 5 minutes away from the East Gate of Hengchun Old Town. Chuhuo, meaning releasing fire in Mandarin is also known as ghost fire for these burning flames looking rather mysterious in the dark.
Offering
distinctive sceneries, Hengchun Chuhuo is one of Hengchun’s unique treasures,
which is fueled by natural gas that rises through cracked mudstone under the
earth’s surface. These distinctive flames can be seen year-round and are
best-viewed drying the dry seasons. During rainy season and days, the
still-burning flames are sometimes temporarily concealed by the falling rain
filling the mudstone cracks.
Hengchun
Chuhuo is mostly visited by travelers in the evening for a clear view. For
visitors visiting in the evening, one may want to bring torches as there are no
lightings in the area. In addition, popcorn, sweet potatoes, or eggs are
available at the stalls at the entrance to have some fun at Chuhuo area." In: Sinotour
