Li Long Mountain Trail Introduction
Lilung Mountain is located in the Fenggang section of the Hengchun Peninsula, serving as the boundary mountain between Mudan Township and Lion Township. It forms a distinct mountain range, with South Lilung and North Lilung flanking and guarding it. Known as "the hundred peaks among mid-level mountains," it stands at an elevation of 1,062 meters and is part of the national forest trails managed by the Forest Bureau. The maintenance and management by a dedicated organization enhance the trail's safety. Additionally, within its tangled, pristine broadleaf forest, there exist rare plants from the Ice Age, such as the Taiwan Cedar (Taiwania cryptomerioides). It holds a prestigious status in the southern mountaineering community, with its grandeur and extensive views rivaling those of any other mountain of similar elevation. After passing Fenggang on Provincial Highway 26, the unique mountain peak that captures your attention is this mountain. The trailhead is located at the base of the mountain at Longfeng Temple, and along the way, there are two clear, bottom-visible, small stream valleys, where numerous stream-dwelling shrimp and crabs enhance the surprises. To the north, you can overlook the Central Mountain Range with Mount Dabawan to the south, the endless sea and sky of the Pacific Ocean to the east, and the beautiful coastline and tropical scenery of Kenting to the south, all while embracing a first-class triangulation point that gathers exceptional distant views.
