Guehe

Guehe (Chinese: 龜河; Guī hé) is a town located in the Meihua Mountains in Meihua, Tseng. It is also located within the Renshan National Park. It is a popular tourist destination, known for its mountainous surroundings and its ski resorts.

History
The settlement was founded in 1899 as Koeiho by Dutch settlers as a winter resort. However, due to its remote location, a railroad didn't reach there until 1935. The Guehe Ski Resort opened in 1948, becoming the first ski resort in Tseng, and in 1957, the Guehe Gondola opened. In 1964, a policeman named Jerome Wang was killed in the Guehe Incident. The tourism industry in Guehe fell on hard times as a result, and it wasn't until the 1980s-90s that Guehe started to become popular again. Nevertheless, Guehe is as popular as it used to be.

Mt Jiehu also had one ski resort, however due to global warming it was abandoned in 2008, and now the mountain is solely used for hiking and biking.
