description Dayoukeng Fumaroles Overview

The Dayoukeng Fumaroles are an active geothermal feature situated within Yangmingshan National Park in northern Taiwan. Translating to "Large Sulfur Pit," the site is part of the post-volcanic hydrothermal system associated with the dormant Tatun Volcano Group. The area vents constant plumes of sulfurous gases and steam, resulting in distinctly yellow, sulfur-crusted landscapes and strongly acidic soil conditions. Once a historic site for sulfur mining, it is now an accessible nature destination where visitors can view the geological activity via wooden boardwalks.
