Turtle Mountain Introduction
Gui Wang Rock is located beside the Laonong River in Liugui District. It is a towering rock formation that resembles a royal turtle, accompanied by growing yellow rattan trees. According to local legend, in the riverbed beneath the Liugui Bridge, there are six boulders scattered in the river, which from a distance appear like six turtles floating in the water, thus the area was named "Liugui." Residents refer to the largest rock as Gui Wang Rock and have built a small shrine there, where they pay daily respects and offer cabbage and carrots as offerings, asking the turtle king for protection against floods. After Typhoon Morakot, it still stands silently beside the Laonong River, watching over the residents of Liugui. It is recommended to spend about 15 minutes here; after a simple act of worship, you can also enjoy the surrounding scenery along the Laonong River.
