During the Qing dynasty Yu Ronghe came here looking for sulfur. In more recent times one businessman set up a hot springs facility here and another built a free-range chicken restaurant. The park authorities tore down these two structures, and opened the canyon to visits by the public.
這片清朝郁永河來台探硫的原址上，曾有兩名業者經營溫泉浴室和土雞城，經過陽管處拆除整建，已開放民眾參觀。
