Miaofeng Mountain Introduction
Motian is renowned for its primitive forests, but has gradually been cleared for high-altitude vegetable gardens, resulting in a changed landscape over time. The bird ecology of Motian is rich, with the families of herons and rails prominently found, except for the once-famous water pheasant, which has now vanished. Nearby, there are magnificent views hidden within, such as the trailhead to the Xinwulu Creek upper stream chestnut forest hot spring, located 169 kilometers away, to the right of the grocery store near Motian Farm, which takes about 50 minutes to walk; the nearby Nanheng Forest, lush and green; and the 9-kilometer Xinwulu Creek Canyon between Lidao and Lululou, where the canyon appears S-shaped in cross-section, with towering cliffs creating a dramatic and magnificent landscape, making it a great spot for outdoor activities.
