Turtle King Rock Introduction
Guiwang Rock is located beside the Laonong River in the Liugui District. This majestic rock formation, resembling a king with its elevated posture, is said to resemble a turtle king and is accompanied by growing yellow kernels nearby. According to local folklore, there are six boulders scattered in the riverbed under the Liugui Bridge, which from a distance appear as six turtles swimming in the creek, leading ancestors to name the area "Liugui." The largest of these boulders is referred to as Guiwang Rock, where a small shrine has been established for daily worship. Residents offer cabbage and carrots as offerings, asking the Turtle King to protect them from floods. Even after Typhoon Morakot, it stands quietly by the Laonong River, silently watching over the residents of Liugui. It is recommended to spend about 15 minutes here; after making a simple offering, visitors can also enjoy the scenic views surrounding the Laonong River.
