Liùguī (六龜), formerly Liùguīlǐ (六龜里), is a long, narrow mountain district stretching along the Laonong River (荖濃溪) valley in northeastern Kaohsiung. The name is said to derive from turtle-shaped rocks in the riverbed. Like neighbouring Jiaxian, the district has a significant Taivoan (大武壠族) Indigenous population, and several public shrines (kuma) for the veneration of Alizu (阿立祖) survive here. During the Japanese colonial era the Liugui Special Garrison Trail (六龜特別警備道路) was built to extend police and military control into the surrounding mountains, and the heritage-listed Ikeda House (池田屋), built by a Japanese businessman around 1929, has been restored and reopened to the public.
