Dakeng Scenic Area

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dakeng is the area that contains most of the mountain region of Beitun District, Taichung, Taiwan. Within these mountains is the Guguan Hot Spring, a famous recreational spot. It is located at the starting point of east-west cross express way, 48 kilometer far from FongYuan. Guguan Hot Spring was first discovered around the year 1907, and was originally called MeiJi Hot Spring. It is said that the Japanese MeiJi Emperor had went to there before and afterwards had a son. So it is also famous for helping people to have a son back then.

After the major earthquake on September 21, 1999, a second hot spring containing sodium bicarbonate was discovered near the first.
