Wushanding Mud Volcano Nature Reserve

Three cone-shaped mud volcanoes with slopes of 50 degrees release thick gray fluid every few seconds, forming distinctive mudflow patterns on the ground.

The Wushanding Mud Volcano Nature Reserve received official protection status in 1992, encompassing 4.89 hectares of land dedicated to volcanic formations preservation.

The reserve forms part of the Mudstone Badland Geopark in Kaohsiung, representing Taiwan's natural geological heritage through its active mud volcanic features.

Visitors can access the reserve through Nan-Zhi interchange, following route 188 or provincial highway 21, with a 30-minute hike required after parking.

The site contains Taiwan's largest concentration of mud volcanoes, with the main vent reaching 3.5 meters in height and producing mud at 28 degrees Celsius.
