Longtoushan Introduction
Longtou Mountain is located near the 12km mark of Provincial Highway 132 in Maolin District, covering an area of approximately 22 hectares. It features a precious terrain known as a knob landform, surrounded by mountains on three sides and characterized by winding streams. The river water is crystal clear, flowing through areas with peculiar rocks and steep cliffs, creating a ridge resembling a dragon's spine, which gives the entire landscape the appearance of a reclining dragon. It is common to see groups of eagles soaring over 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 hill into two segments, and from a distance, it appears like a giant dragon spitting pearls, earning it the name "Dragon Spitting Pearls." By taking the walking path on the side, one can reach the stone pavilion atop Longtou Mountain, where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view from the peak.
