Nantou County ─ Dongpu Scenic Area
Located at Shinyi Village in Nantou County, this area belongs to the Pulung aborigine tribe. Originally renowned for its hot springs, Dungpu has become a popular place to see the flora blossoms every year from January to April. Its famous five flowers are the point setters, plum, cherry, pear and peach. The harvest season at the end of summer is equally attractive when trees are ridden with fruits and the air exudes pleasant fruit fragrance. This is definitely an all-season tourist spot either for sightseeing, summer retreat or soaking in the hot springs.The hot spring in Dungpu was discovered long ago. During the Japanese Occupation, there were already bathing pools. These facilities came under the government jurisdiction after restoration and were opened to public. Gradually, Dungpu becomes known for its fantastic hot springs.The hot spring source is at the eastern foothill of Wan Village, about half an hour walk from the Bus Terminal. The water quality is superb; it is clear and drinkable. The volume is abundant and temperature is around 48 degree C. A soak in the pool is believed to get rid of tiredness, increases appetite and improves health. It is very popular among mountain climbers.In the vicinity, there are several attractions such as the Rainbow Waterfall and Lover’s Valley.
