Shihba Luohanshan Scenic Area

Known as Taiwan's Little Guilin, Shiba Luohanshan is a striking landmark in Liugui District. Its distinctive conglomerate badlands terrain makes it one of Taiwan's three major Huoyanshan-type landscapes. The entire area is made up of thick conglomerate layers that, over many years, have been shaped by rainwater scouring and differential erosion into dozens of peaks, each with its own distinct form. Lined up along the banks of the Laonong River, these peaks resemble standing arhats when viewed from afar, giving Shiba Luohanshan its name and making it a must-see landscape along Provincial Highway 27A.
Beyond its distinctive geology, the area also holds rich historical and ecological value. During the Japanese Colonial Period, several tunnels were excavated here to transport camphor and timber. Over time, these old tunnels have become treasured historical remains. Even more remarkable, because their interiors were sealed for many years and left undisturbed, they have maintained a stable microclimate and unexpectedly become habitats for large bat colonies, highlighting the area's ecological diversity.
As an important highway rest stop, the park offers well-developed visitor facilities, including an Information Station, a shop, and public restrooms where travelers can pick up supplies and take a break. After resting, visitors can stroll across the Landscape Bridge or along the scenic embankment trail, taking in broad views of the Laonong River valley and surrounding mountains.
