Longguo Trail Introduction

The Ecological Dragon Line is named for its mountain ridges that resemble the spine of a dragon, visible from high points. The trail has three access points and offers a friendly and expansive route with rich ecology. During the Qingming Festival, purple butterfly species can be seen fluttering about, while throughout the year, one can spot the eight-color bird and Formosan macaques moving among the area. The Longguo Mountain Forest Trail is located within Linnei Township, near Linnei Park, and stretches approximately 4.2 kilometers. It is recommended by the Forestry Bureau as one of the top one hundred trails. The trail has three access points: the Tieguan Pit section, the Luokeng section, and the Pingding section. The Linnei Mountain range is embraced by Caoling and Zhushan Township in Nantou County. It is said that from the border of Caoling and Zhushan, looking down at the low mountains, the mountain ridges within Linnei resemble the spine of a dragon, and when the gaze shifts to the confluence of the Zhuoshui River and the Qingshui River, it appears as if the dragon is drinking water, hence the name "Longguo Ma."
