火燒寮山, Mountain peak in Miaoli County, Taiwan.
Huoshao-Liao Mountain is a peak in Miaoli County featuring a northern summit at 614 meters and a main summit at 596 meters. The landscape is marked by distinctive red-tinted soil formations visible throughout the slopes.
The area was established as a nature reserve in 1986 to protect native plant species. This designation allowed the ecosystem to regenerate naturally over time.
The mountain draws birdwatchers who come to observe migratory species passing through in spring. It plays a role in local outdoor traditions and nature appreciation.
The hiking route covers about 6.5 kilometers and takes roughly two hours and twenty minutes to walk. First aid stations are positioned along the trail for visitor safety and support.
The rock formations are made of sandstone and sedimentary layers that shift through heavy rainfall, typhoons, and seismic activity. These natural forces continuously reshape the red soil visible on the slopes.
