Longtoushan Introduction
Longtou Mountain is located near the 12 km mark of Provincial Highway 132 in Maolin District. It covers an area of approximately 22 hectares and is a precious example of a circular hill terrain, surrounded by high mountains on three sides, with streams flowing in a winding manner. The water in the river is clear, and along its course, bizarre rocks and sheer cliffs rise up, forming a ridge that resembles a dragon's back, making the entire terrain appear like a lying dragon. It is often possible to see groups of eagles soaring on the cliffs or gliding along the valleys, which is why it was originally named "Eagle Valley." Over long periods of erosion, the flowing water has further divided the hill into two sections, and from a distance, it looks like a giant dragon spitting pearls, hence the name "Dragon Spitting Pearls." By walking along the nearby trail, one can reach the top of Longtou Mountain, where there is a stone pavilion from which visitors can enjoy a panoramic view.
