Huliao Pond Introduction
When visiting Pinglin, aside from buying tea leaves and enjoying tea meals, it is worth taking a walk into the mountains and stepping onto the suspension bridge to admire the dog-tooth topography of Huliaotan. The dog-tooth topography is created by the uplift of tilted rock layers, and under the erosion of the Beishi River, the fragile shale breaks down, leaving behind jagged sandstone that resembles a dog's teeth, thus the name. With the construction of the Feitsui Reservoir upstream of the Beishi River, many dog-tooth formations have been submerged, but by approaching Huliaotan and standing on the Huliaotan Suspension Bridge, you can still enjoy the grandeur of this dog-tooth topography.
