Hsiaoyukeng

Hsiaoyukeng is the best-known recreation site in Yangmingshan National Park, and offers some of the most typical scenery. Located above the Tatung Bridge along the Yangmingshan-Chinshan Highway, Hsiaoyukeng is at an elevation of 800 meters and contains a host of volcanically-created fumaroles, sulfur crystals, hot springs, and landslides. Sulfur vents noisily spew forth gases, and hot springs discharge endless streams of boiling water. The bright yellow sulfur crystals that can be seen here are exceptionally lovely. Mt. Chihsing provides breathtaking views in all directions.
