Dragon Head Mountain Introduction
Longtou Mountain is located near the intersection of Highway 132 and County Road 12 in Maolin District. The area of Longtou Mountain is approximately 22 hectares and is a precious example of a patty landform, surrounded on three sides by high mountains with streams flowing in a winding manner. The water is clear, and the area is filled with strange rocks and towering cliffs, forming a ridge resembling a dragon's spine, giving the entire terrain the appearance of a reclining dragon. It is common to see groups of eagles soaring along the cliffs or gliding along the valleys, which is why it was originally named "Eagle Valley." Over a long period of erosion, the flowing water has divided the hills into two sections, and from a distance, it looks like a giant dragon spitting out pearls, thus earning the name "Dragon Spitting Pearls." By taking the nearby trail, one can reach a stone pavilion at the top of Longtou Mountain, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view.
