Holland Water

荷蘭水

Legend has it that after Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga) drove away the Dutch, two Dutch soldiers fled here, preparing to escape to the eastern coast. However, Zheng Chenggong's soldiers were in pursuit, and as they passed through this area, they became extremely exhausted. They took the mountain spring water here, and suddenly their strength was restored, allowing them to continue their escape to the east and evade their pursuers. As a result, later generations named this place Holland Spring. The location is today's GuA'na Waterfall, about a 20-minute drive from Xinmei Village, followed by a hike of over an hour along mountain trails.
