Dragon Head Mountain Introduction

Longtou Mountain is located near Highway 132 at 12 km in Maolin District, covering an area of approximately 22 hectares. It features a precious ring-shaped hill terrain surrounded by high mountains on three sides, with streams flowing in a twisting manner. The water is clear, and the area is characterized by bizarre rocks and sheer cliffs, forming a ridge resembling a dragon's back, giving the entire landscape the appearance of a reclining dragon. It is common to see groups of eagles soaring along the cliffs or gliding through the valleys, which led to its original name "Eagle Valley." Due to long-term erosion, the flowing water has divided the hill into two segments, and from a distance, it looks like a giant dragon spitting pearls, hence the alternative name "Dragon Spitting Pearls." By walking along a nearby trail, one can reach the top of Longtou Mountain, where there is a stone pavilion from which to enjoy a panoramic view.
