Longtoushan Leisure Area

Longtou Mountain (Longtoushan) can be found near the 12km mark of Kaohsiung County Highway No. 132 in Maolin. It covers an area of about 22 hectares and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Longtoushan, literally Dragon Head Mountain in English, features a rare landform shaped by a river flowing through the region to resemble the shape of a humongous dragon lying on the ground, with the mountain range as its spine. Over time, the river sculpted the mountain and eventually cut it in half, making it look like a dragon spewing out pearls from afar and winning it a nickname “pearl-spewing dragon.” The mountain is also known as the ‘Eagle Valley’ for a large eagle population occupying its cliffs and valleys.

Besides eagles, Longtoushan is also popular with tourists, who are attracted by a weaving mountain trail that looks like a miniature Great Wall of China. It only takes half an hour to walk through the hiking trail, but you can also walk for another 30 minutes to the Duonagao Suspension Bridge, where you can appreciate the scenery of the valley below.

Longtou Mountain is often seen in groups of eagles circling the cliffs or soaring along the valleys, hence the original name "Eagle Valley". The trails in the Longtoushan Recreation Area should be considered special among the tourist attractions in Taiwan. It's worth a visit because of the beautiful scenery. At the end of the wooden walkway, you can connect to the Dona High Suspension Bridge. Due to the long-term invasion of the more fragile rock formations by the Zhuokou Stream, the river channel is gradually curved. Under the continuous erosion and accumulation of the stream, the precious circulation hill topography is gradually formed. Because the rugged mountain looks like the appearance of a dragon spitting out pearls from a distance, it is named Longtou Mountain and has become one of the famous scenic spots and landmarks in Maolin District. Today's visit, there are not many tourists, the weather is comfortable, and the whole journey is completed. The views on both sides are excellent and it is worth a visit.

There are a lot of people during the holiday, and cars can park in the Longtoushan Recreation Area The trail is well-planned, which is very suitable for the whole family to travel. The only drawback: the toilet is dirty and messy. Starting from the square, it is divided into 2 trails: Wangfuya and Dona Suspension Bridge This time I choose to live in the Dona Suspension Bridge, and it will take about 1.5 hours to go back and forth (photograph, take a break)

It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to walk from Wangfu Cliff to the Dona High Suspension Bridge. A short walk from the car park leads to the entrance, which has hawkers and toilets, as well as the Dona High Suspension Bridge.
