With a total area of 9km2, Hudongshui Scenic Area spans 1,5km from south to north with a water surface area of 60,000m2. Since it has lakes in the canyon and creeks in caves, it is known as Hudongshui, which means “the water in lake and cave”.     Hudongshui Scenic Area features its splendid mountains, steep canyon, dense forest, flying butterflies and birds, deep caves and running creeks. It boasts beautiful flowers and singing birds in spring, as well as green plants and waterfalls in summer.

The Steep Stairs with 800 steps is the best scenic spot for visitors to appreciate sceneries and exercise.

    The canyon enjoys its flat road and a different view with every step. Visitors can appreciate sceneries by bus and keep away from the hot summer in this natural oxygen bar.
