Rising from the coastal plains of Mituo, Luodishan (漯底山) is the largest mud volcano body known in Taiwan, and its grey mudstone badlands are the closest to the coastline anywhere on the island. Fortified from 1938 as part of the defensive ring around Okayama Airfield (岡山機場) and garrisoned by ROC artillery units until they withdrew in 2006, the hill is perforated with bunkers, trenches, and tunnels, along with an underground reservoir rediscovered in 2018. It has since been converted into a nature park with hiking trails, boardwalks, and a suspension bridge over one of the gullies.
