Longdong, or “Dragon’s Cave,” got its name because the landscape looks like the long, curving body of the mythical flying, fire-breathing beast. From Taipei, Longdong is less than an hour’s drive away and can be a great spot for a day trip. Once there, visitors can find a number of great activities to try. Walking the Longdongwan Cape Trail is a great way to take in the stunning coastal scenery, including the steep cliffs and the whitecap waves crashing against the shore. The rock formations are tens of millions of years old, formed by the same volcanic forces that gave rise to the main island of Taiwan.

文法重點：「名詞-現在分詞」組成的複合形容詞
複合形容詞就是將兩個以上的字用連字符號 “-”連接形成的形容詞，通常置於名詞之前，用以修飾該名詞，如本文中的 fire-breathing（噴火的）即是「名詞-現在分詞」所形成的複合形容詞，用以表示被修飾名詞的主動概念，fire-breathing beast 就是從 beast that breathes fire 變化而來。
The tiger is a man-eating animal.
= The tiger is an animal that eats men.
老虎是種會吃人的動物。
Australia is an English-speaking country.
= Australia is a country where people speak English.
澳洲是說英語的國家。
「名詞-過去分詞」所形成的複合形容詞，則是表示被修飾名詞的被動概念。
This store sells hand-carved wooden statues.
= This store sells wooden statues that are carved by hand.
這間店販售用手工雕刻的木頭雕像。
The snow-covered mountain is beautiful.
= The mountain which is covered with / in snow is beautiful.
