Liyu Mountain, Natural landmark in Taitung County, Taiwan
Liyu Mountain is a natural landmark rising 75 meters above Taitung County, offering views across the East Longitudinal Valley and surrounding rolling country. Multiple walking paths connect the various viewpoints around the mountain with clear signage and rest areas throughout the trail network.
The mountain region played a central role during Japanese colonial times when the nearby Jian Township was established as an immigrant settlement. This period significantly shaped the structure and development of the surrounding communities.
The area around the mountain connects with indigenous communities who practice traditional crafts such as making curved knives and hand-woven textiles in this region.
The walking paths are well marked with clear signage and feature rest areas positioned throughout the trail network. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for changing elevation as they explore the different viewpoints.
During summer months, seasonal fireflies illuminate their mating displays at the neighboring Liyu Lake, creating a rare natural spectacle. This phenomenon attracts visitors who want to observe the fireflies in their natural habitat.
