The Eight Scenic Spots of Hengchun: Named after the eight scenic poems written by the Qing Dynasty General Liang Yan, the poems are as follows: "Cat Nose, Tortoise, Snake standing by the sea, San Tai rises high into the clouds. Dragon's chant, rain transforms the heart of the pool, Tiger roars, wind is clear, smoke at the mouth of the valley. Cattle bend to plow, returning down the wild path, Who wears the saddle, striking the dust with a whip. Thousand autumns cave, sealing the trace of the lord, Hero stands, the southeast half of the sky." Cat Nose: Referring to "Cat Nose Head," it resembles a cat crouching above the sea due to coral reefs being eroded by waves. Located at the meeting point of the Taiwan Strait and the Bashi Channel, the changing winds, waves, and currents often create a dramatic spectacle of waves crashing against the shore. San Tai Mountain: This refers to San Tai Mountain. From the east gate of Hengchun Ancient City, one can see the three connected peaks, which is how the mountain got its name. Longyuan Lake: Referring to Longyuan Lake, which covers an area of 175 hectares and is the largest inland lake in the Hengchun Peninsula. The broad lake surface, reflecting the blue sky or evening glow, creates a most captivating landscape. Monkey Cave Mountain: Referring to Monkey Cave Mountain, located next to the west gate, this 20-meter high coral reef was originally a habitat for monkeys, hence the name. Huting Mountain: Referring to Huting Mountain. Chiniu Ridge: Referring to Chiniu Ridge, located outside the east gate of Hengchun, it is a tableland formed by raised coral limestone, providing a panoramic view of the Hengchun Valley, from Checheng in the north to Eluanbi in the south, offering an exceptional sight. Horse Saddle Mountain: Referring to Horse Saddle Mountain, located at the southern foot of Horse Saddle Mountain in South Bay, which was a rich whaling ground during the Japanese occupation. Guanshan: Referring to Guanshan, also known as Gao Mountain Rock, made up of coral reef. The most famous sight here is the sunset at Guanshan, where the sky and sea are bathed in a brilliant red glow as the sun sets.
