Miaoli Mountain Introduction
Moten is known for its pristine forests, but it has gradually been converted into high-altitude vegetable gardens, and the original appearance of the forest has changed over time. The landscape is also undergoing gradual transformation. Moten boasts rich avian biodiversity, featuring birds such as the Black-faced Spoonbill, herons, and rails. However, the once-famous watercock has become elusive. Nearby, there are magnificent landscapes hidden within, such as the hiking entrance to the Xinwulu River upstream, located about 169 kilometers away on the right side of the grocery store near Moten Farm, which takes approximately 50 minutes to reach. Additionally, the nearby Nanheng Forest is lush and green, with layers of verdant hills. There is also the Xinwulu River Gorge, which stretches 9 kilometers between Lidao and Lululu. The gorge presents an S-shaped cross-section, characterized by steep cliffs and imposing mountains, making the gorge's landscape spectacular and an excellent destination for outdoor activities.
