Miaoli Mountain Introduction
Motian is renowned for its pristine forest, but it has gradually been cultivated into high-altitude vegetable gardens, and the original forest appearance has changed over time, with the landscape evolving. Motian boasts a rich avian ecological resource, home to various bird species, including herons and rails, in addition to the black-faced spoonbill. However, the once-famous water chicken has disappeared completely. Nearby, there are magnificent landscapes, hidden within, such as the entrance to the Xinwulu Creek upstream wild chestnut hot spring, located to the right of a grocery store 169 kilometers away from Motian Farm, which takes about 50 minutes to reach; as well as the nearby Nanhuanshan forest, lush and verdant, with layers of green peaks; and the 9-kilometer-long Xinwulu Creek canyon situated between Lidao and Lululu. From a cross-section view, the entire canyon forms an S-shape, with towering cliffs that create a dramatic and majestic landscape, making it a great destination for outdoor activities.
