Laso'e Ecological Park Introduction
Behind the Hualien Guangfu Sugar Factory, there is a little-known secret paradise, the Laso'e Geyser Ecological Park. The park features six springs, each maintaining its original natural environment. The crystal-clear blue spring water appears to be colored by divine hands and nurtures Taiwan's endangered native aquatic plant, the little flower dragon tail. This stunning location is backed by a moving Amis tribe myth. According to legend, the divine bird Douro guarded the residents of the valley but was injured by hunters. Fortunately, the villagers of Laso'e cared for it until it healed. However, misfortune followed as the village faced drought and plague. Thus, the divine bird Douro shed six tears, which transformed into springs, sacrificing itself to save the villagers, allowing them to live a prosperous and happy life for generations. The Laso'e Geyser, intertwining pristine ecology with Amis mythology, was chosen as the most beautiful secret spot in 2016. The No. 1 spring, refracting different shades of blue with the changing sunlight, is known as the blue tears, resembling Taiwan's version of Jiuzhaigou. The crystal-clear No. 6 spring allows visitors to row boats, cleaning algae while admiring the little flower dragon tail up close, offering a fantastical drifting journey.
