Chuhuo’s natural flame

Not far past Hengchun’s East Gate was Chuhuo Natural Fire. I walked the half kilometre, then down wooden steps to a tree lined path that ended at a circular barrier.

the ancient town of hengchun

When the bus rolled through Hengchun on the way to Kenting (pronounced Ken-ting), it appeared like the dingiest route, but I still wanted to explore its narrow streets. On my return, I headed to its most photographed site, Hengchun’s South Gate.
