Huliao Pond

Taipei Attractions

虎寮潭景緻

A visit to Pinglin is not complete without buying tea leaves and enjoying tea meals. It’s also worthwhile to venture into the mountains and walk up the suspension bridge to admire the dog-tooth topography of Huliaotan. The dog-tooth topography was formed due to the pressure of stratification causing tilting, and under the erosion of Beishi River, fragile shale has crumbled, leaving behind serrated sandstone that resembles a dog’s teeth, hence the name. With the construction of the Feitsui Reservoir upstream on the Beishi River, many of these dog-tooth formations have been submerged. However, by approaching Huliaotan and standing on the Huliaotan Suspension Bridge, you can still behold the magnificent dog-tooth topography.

Huliao Pond Introduction

When visiting Pinglin, in addition to buying tea and enjoying tea-infused dishes, you might as well venture into the mountains and walk on the suspension bridge to appreciate the dog-tooth topography of Hulyiao Pond. The dog-tooth topography is formed when geological layers are compressed and uplifted. Under the scouring of the Beishi River, the fragile shale erodes, leaving behind jagged sandstone that resembles dog teeth, hence the name. With the construction of the Feitsui Reservoir upstream of the Beishi River, many of the dog-tooth formations have been submerged. However, when you approach Hulyiao Pond and stand on the Hulyiao Pond Suspension Bridge, you can still enjoy a magnificent view of the dog-tooth topography.
