Luo Shan Feng Scenic Area - Fengyu Peninsula Introduction
The "Luo Shan Feng Scenic Area" covers the towns of Checheng, Mudan, and Manzhou, with the boundaries defined by mountain ridges, township borders, river boundaries, forest management area boundaries, cadastral boundaries, roads, and national park boundaries, totaling approximately 11,300 hectares. The area is connected to Kenting National Park primarily via Provincial Highway 26, County Road 199, County Road 199甲, and County Road 200. It does not include lands managed by the Taitung Forest District Office, the Ministry of National Defense's Armaments Bureau, and the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology experimental base. The area includes nine villages in Checheng Township: Haikou, Tianzhong, Fuan, Fuxing, Xinjie, Pujian, Sheliao, Tongpu, and Wenquan; six villages in Mudan Township: Shimen, Mudan, Dongyuan, Xuhai, Gaoshi, and Silin; and three villages in Manzhou Township: Gangzi, Changle, and Jiupeng. What is "Luo Shan Feng"? The "Luo Shan Feng" is a common term for the northeastern monsoon effects on the Hengchun Peninsula in Taiwan. Specifically, "Luo Shan Feng" refers to downhill winds. The central mountain range of Hengchun Peninsula drops to an elevation of about 400 to 1,000 meters. From October to April of the following year, the northeastern monsoon crosses the mountain range, with strong downhill winds striking the western coast of Hengchun Peninsula, affecting the leeward slopes of Checheng, Mudan, Hengchun, and other areas. The instantaneous wind strength can reach levels 6 or 7, equivalent to the power of a mild typhoon, and there have been records of winds overturning motorcycles and small cars, causing injuries and fatalities. This phenomenon also stirs up sandy scenes in Jiupeng Desert and Haikou Desert. (Source: Pingtung County Government - Luo Shan Feng Scenic Area - "Wind Domain Peninsula" official website)
