A long time ago, in this area, there grew a type of low shrub with leaves that were about ten to twenty centimeters in diameter. If the skin accidentally came into contact with the hairs on the leaf surface, it would immediately cause an unbearable itch, akin to the sensation of being burned by fire, making one restless. Mild cases would last for two days, while severe cases could take three to four days to heal. This plant is commonly known as "Biting Dog," which is why the local residents refer to this mountain area as "Biting Dog Pit."

Barking Dog Pit Ecological Landscape Trail Introduction

The Taiping District Office has set up numerous plant explanation boards along the route from the Dog Bite Pit to Santing Mountain to provide the public with a deeper understanding of nature and its rich resources. The mouse ridge scenic trail along the Dog Bite Pit, after completion, features wooden walkways, plant and scenic explanation signs, as well as stone benches for visitors to rest and roadside gardens thoughtfully planned in various locations. The industry road next to the bridge along the Dog Bite Pit leads to a well-designed mountain hiking trail. This circular trail serves as a new paradise for hikers, showcasing a variety of insects and plants along the way. Upon reaching the ridge peak, visitors can take a moment to rest and enjoy the view of the winding Toubian River, making it suitable for family hiking while also providing an excellent opportunity for physical exercise.
