Chuhou Special Scenic Area, Hengchun Township, Pingtung County, Taiwán
Chuhuo Special Scenic Area is located outside of Eastgate of Hengchun Township, and the fire was initially triggered by the underground natural gas overflow from the shale fissure. The locals recount the story of an expulsion of natural gas accidentally discovered by CNPC while sinking a well, and after its ignition, the spectacular fire has been kept going ever since. The area has been expanded into a parking lot and a park; the fire is best for the night viewing.
