Rising up in the south of the Zuoying District, it is one of Zuoying's famous historical sites. 55 meters above sea level, it is shaped like a turtle with its head seemingly drinking from the Lotus Lake. The tail falls next to Gushan District, and marks the boundary between Zuoying and Gushan. The Old Town encircles the entire Guei Mountain.To climb the mountain, a newly built mountain trail leads from the end of the old town wall at the North Gate (Gongchen Gate). It is recommended to walk to the peak at dawn or dusk to take in the sights of Lotus Pond. As the trail passes by the lake, the willows become a poetic sight to see. A new tourist information center was built nearby to provide tourists with information as well as place to sit and relax. So, take a break, sit down and have something to drink while appreciating the sights of the pond. As you leave, buy some local Chi Cookies as a souvenir. Photos:
