Drive from the west exit of the Changchun Tunnel of the Central Cross-Island Highway, then turn south(left) and go along the old Central Cross-Island Highway to the car park next to Liwu River, and you can see the Changchun (Eternal Spring) Shine which commemorates the 212 personnel (military veterans) who died during the construction of the Central Cross-Island Highway (1956~1960). Spring water adjacent by the Changchun Shine flows all year round, and the Highway Bureau named it after "Chanchun Falls." It is now scenic spot with special significance on the Central Cross-Island Highway.

In 1987 the cliff by the rivers collapse and destroyed the pavilion next to the Changchun Shine. After 10 years it was restored and is now open to the public again. that the back of the Changchun Shine there are stairs leading to Kuanyin Cave, Taroko Tower, Bell Tower (the highest point), and across a suspension bridge to Changuang Temple (Zen temple) . The river valley next to the Changuang Temple has a bottle gourd shape, and it is named thereafter as Bottle GourdValley (Hu-lu Gu). The trail is a 1.3km/085mile leisurely walk will take 50 minutes to an hour. The trail is quite steep and visitors should stay off the trail on rainy days.
