Welcome to Lowkey B&B!

Liushishi Mountain(Sixty Stone Mountain) is located to the east of Zhutian Village, Fuli Township, in Hualien County. It is situated at an elevation of around 800 meters above sea level, in the Coastal Mountain Range. There is a daylily field of 300 hectares in size, and along with Chihke Mountain, this is regarded as one of Hualien County's two large daylily cultivation areas. So why is this area called Liushishi Mountain(Sixty Stone Mountain). According to locals, during the Japanese occupation era, the average paddy field could only yield around forty or fifty dan of millet. (A "dan" is a unit of dry measure for grain equal to 100 liters). However, in this area, the average paddy field could yield sixty dan of millet, thus it was called LiushishiMountain(Sixty dan Mountain). Because the Chinese character used for the word dan is the same as the one used for the word stone, this name became "Liushishi Mountain(Sixty Stone Mountain)". According to another account, during the Japanese occupation era, a lush camphor forest was located on this mountain, and in order to produce camphor, the trees were all cut down. Afterwards, sixty large scattered stones were found on the side of this vast mountain, thus the name "LiushishiMountain(Sixty Stone Mountain)".

After turning onto Liushishi Mountain Industrial Road (Chanye Road) from Provincial Highway No. 9, a length of zigzagging mountain road will lead to Liushishi Mountain's daylily fields. Upon arrival at the mountain ridge, the scene of this stretch of exquisite and vast open country will immediately cause drivers to forget their weariness from car-driving. The immense daylily fields look like a vast dark green carpet, spread out on one mountain ridge after another. The red tiled farms scattered across these green, overflowing fields create a natural scene of more beauty than one can take in.

In recent years, the East Rift Valley National Scenic Area Administration has built ten pavilions on Liushishi Mountain, each of a different design. They are design

two describing this item.

Walami Trail is located on the eastern section of the Batongguan Historical Trail. Starting from the Nanan Visitor Center in Yuli, through Nanan Waterfalls, the trail is 14.5 kilometers in length. Along the Lakulaku Creek, the ascent is from 600 to 1060 meters. Shanfeng, Chiaxin, and Huangma are some of the places the trail passes by. To complete the trail, overnight stay in the mountains is necessary. For those who do not wish to do so, turn back at Nanan or Shanfeng Waterfalls.
The trail from the trailhead to Walami follows the original trail of Batongguan Crossing built by the Japanese. The trail’s ascent is mild and goes along the Lakulaku Creek valley. Low to mid level broad leaf forest is the mainstay of the plant growth here. Birds and butterflies are abundant in the area. It is trail not to be missed by nature-lovers.

The Nanan Waterfall
Roughly two kilometers from the Nanan Visitor Center, Nanan Waterfall has two ponds. The ponds are not too deep; very suitable for the whole family.

The Shanfeng Waterfall
The Shanfeng Waterfall flows from Dalihsienshan, through Shanfeng No. 2 suspension bridge, this waterfall falls in a chute with a tremendous force, thereby creating a spectacular rushing down effect. During dry seasons, the waterfall would cascade gently, while in hot summer days, passing through the suspension bridge can make one easily feel the cool breeze coming at him.
