Hsiaoyoukeng Walking Area lies in the northern saddle of Chihsing Mountain. It is one of the park's major geological scenic sites. Strongly acidic hot springs and sulfur gas rising through the Hsiaoyukeng fault have eroded the extrusive rock and caused it to turn crumbly and collapse, resulting in the landscape we see today. In addition to its sulfur fumaroles and unusual topography, this area offers a bird's-eye view of Chutzuhu and Tatun Mountain.
