Shiba Luohanshan (Eighteen Arhats Mountain) lies next to Laonong River, Kaohsiung. Shiba Luohanshan consists of more than 40 mountains. Years of erosion have resulted in its rough geography. Legend says that the eighteen arhats will safeguard local people and their wealth, but the people will be punished if they spend the money elsewhere.
Shiba Luohanshan has very special geography and geology. The best positions to appreciate the mountains are the outlook point on Linpan track and the other one next to 185 highway. With Laonong River running by, the mountains present spectacular scenery. There are macaques in the mountains as well.
