Longguo Trail Introduction

The Ecological Dragon Trail is said to be named for its ridge lines that resemble the spine of a dragon, visible from high points. The trail has three access points, making it an accessible route with expansive views. Rich in biodiversity, it features Purple Butterfly flying during the Qingming Festival and, on regular days, you can see the Formosan Blue Magpie and Formosan macaques traversing the area. The Longguo Mountain Forest Trail is located within Linnei Township, near Linnei Park, with a total length of about 4.2 kilometers. It is one of the top hundred trails recommended by the Forest Service, with three access points: Tieguankeng section, Lukeng section, and Pingding section. The Linnei Mountain Range, along with Caoling and Zhushan Township in Nantou County, surrounds the area. It is said that from the border of Caoling and Zhushan, one can overlook the Linnei mountains, which resemble the spine of a dragon. When the gaze shifts to the confluence of the Zhuoshui River and the Qing Shui River, it looks like the dragon is drinking water, hence the name "Longguo Mountain."
