Niutou Mountain Introduction
Niu Tou Mountain is composed of volcanic debris and ash, which have been shaped by differential erosion and weathering, resulting in large rocky outcrops that resemble the shape of a cow's head. From a distance, Niu Tou Mountain appears like a water buffalo immersed in the sea, facing the Pacific Ocean, lazily lying on the Northeast Cape with its nostrils exposed. The remarkable likeness of the cow evokes admiration for the wonders of nature. By following the branch of the Circular Island Road eastward, passing by Oasis Mountain Villa, you will arrive at a large bend where a sign for Niu Tou Mountain is located on the left side in the forest. This path leads up to Niu Tou Mountain, which is relatively secluded and usually has few visitors, making it a hidden gem that should not be missed in Green Island. Standing atop the high cliffs and surveying the surrounding waters, to the west, there is General Rock and Gongguan Cape. Further in the distance, the Green Island Lighthouse stands on a cape protruding from a small hill. To the east, there is Loumen Rock, which stands like an arch bridge over the sea, gazing towards Niu Tou Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, you will find Swallow Cave, a natural sea cave named for the swallows that have inhabited it for many years. The 360-degree panoramic view offers a complete vista of the northeastern coast of Green Island.
