Chuhuo

A good tourist attraction where you can light up the natural flammable gas from the ground to roast the pop corn .

出火位於恆春鎮東門外(墾丁國家公園範圍外)，是地底天然氣由泥岩裂隙溢出，點火後燃燒造成。當地人引述原為中油鑿井時挖至泥岩層，意外發現有天然氣自然冒出，經點火後至今不熄，蔚為奇觀，現已設有停車場成擴建為公園，較適於夜晚前往觀賞

攤販在外面販售爆米花，有些遊客購買後在此地烤爆米花的樂趣，但是很危險，因為要烤就得進去禁區內烤，下面是瓦斯，很危險，希望大家還是要注意安全哦！

十幾年前就來過的地方！今天故地重遊，有很大的差別，之前來這裡，附近都是攤販在賣生的地瓜、烤爆米花，我們買了之後都可以很靠近火源烤地瓜以及爆米花，雖然很熱但是會很期待烤的東西，就好像去烤肉的感覺。 但是今年看到整個大區域的被圍欄阻隔開來，應該是為了安全的關係，而且完全看不到有任何的攤販，這裡有專屬的停車場，下車之後就可以沿著指示牌的方向前進，會經過一段樓梯棧道以及一小段的小路，很快的就會看到著名的出火。 出火位於墾丁東門城外，附近的地質位為墾丁層（泥岩層），由於泥岩層的裂縫很多，所以地底的天然氣就沿著裂縫噴出，經過點火後就形成現在出火的現象，進而演變成著名的景點。

出火旁邊的公告欄字機會都看不到，幾乎都黑掉了希望能改善，不過因為第一次看到覺得很有趣。

開放時間9：00-20：00，早點到，遊客少+沒商家，乾淨的現場。傍晚到，可以同時看到晝夜不同的景觀

順路的話可以帶孩子來瞭解一下這個奇觀，人不多一下就逛完了 雨後可能需要涉水一小段 路口有攤販賣地瓜、爆米花、生雞蛋，我買了兩顆蛋準備烤著玩，但大雨過後只剩中間有火，四周的都熄了無法烤

很多人違規進去烤爆米花....

There's not much to see around this area, but I heard it's a great spot for seeing stars because of no light.

Chuhuo is located quite close to Hengchun Township, so we were able to walk there (~20 minutes) from where we were staying. I wouldn't really recommend walking though since there isn't actually any pedestrian walkways, and there is no lighting (assuming you're going at night). In general, if you are visiting this part of Taiwan it is better if you either 1) are driving or 2) have a scooter/motorbike. As the name suggests, this place is literally natural fires coming out from the ground. In reality, it is less impressive than it sounds, and is quite anticlimactic. It really just looks like a group of campfires. I would recommend coming at night to see it better. Be warned though, bring a flashlight as the path is not lit. There is vendor in the parking lot selling snacks as well as sparklers and things that are technically illegal. The fires are behind a chained off area, but it is easy (although illegal and very possibly dangerous) to bypass it. Like when I was there, a woman was next to the fires lighting up the sparklers. I would say this place wasn't worth it unless you have free time. However, it is free, and you can go at night, so if you have a car go for it. Just don't expect too much.

There's not much to see in the area of Hengchun/Manzhou which are an 8mile distance between eachother except for the "Eternal Fire" and with the exception of a few historic areas in Hengchun township. It's advised that if you tour this area you must have a vehicle to travel in because there are very little travel options- one bus that travels daily between these two villages and then some taxis. This area's language use is also mostly mandarin and Hokkien with very very little use of English. The Eternal flame area is across from a cemetary area and "The Ghost Festival" which makes this destination very unique to view at night. Stars can also be seen as well.

24/7 fire is seen glowing from the ground at ChuHuo which is located just outside of HengChun. With plenty of parking and usually 1-2 street vendors outside selling fruit and snacks, you can take an easy stroll down to the fire pit to see the natural gas igniting small flames across the ground. It has been called Flame Wonders, Eternal flame and Gas Fire. If you are driving through it is a short detour and worth a quick visit. The fire can be smaller at times but you can even see it during the day. People have cooked on the fires before but now it is enclosed by a small chain probably just for tourist safety. Take a picnic if you like as there is a balcony you can sit on at the top of the site and grassy areas as well.

Very cool natural phenomenon ...as long as people aren't ruining it by crossing the chains and going up to the fire. I'm glad I made the trip to check it out.
