Hulu Valley

　　  Hulu Valley is situated in Shanmahuxi Stream, Fanlu Township, within the Lower Grass Mountain Waterfall Group. It earned its name due to the gourd-like shape of its canyon. The site gained popularity when hikers discovered it was ideal for bodyboarding, which led to a surge in interest in the sport.

　　  The valley is formed by natural rock walls, featuring a wide streambed dotted with scattered boulders. The streambed is lush with moss and the water is crystal clear, offering a fresh and picturesque scenery. Within the valley, there is a small waterfall about 3 feet tall, and the bodyboarding area is located just above it. The boarding spot spans roughly 30 meters in both length and width on a rocky slope with an approximate 20-degree incline. When bodyboarding, you slide down the slope like on a waterslide, creating splashes of white water behind you — a fun experience that gives Hulu Valley a natural, raw charm that far surpasses artificial water slides found in amusement parks.

　　  Transportation Tips: Take the Chiayi County Bus bound for Dapu from in front of Chiayi Railway Station, get off at Gongtiandi Stop, and then walk to the destination.
