Manzhou County is located in a valley, and surrounded by mounds. Since the mountains form a natural barrier, it is the best place to shelter from the Hengchun winds. With the added attraction of abundant vegetation, the Gray-faced Buzzard Hawks have for many years selected the mountainous forests areas to be their roosting stop during their long southbound migration. One year, more than one thousand hawks were recorded to have visited there.
