About Mighty Dragon on the Hill Toby

Ny Mighty Dragon on the Hill dia ivon-toeram-pamokarana ho an'ny fanamboarana fiara elektrika ao Miaoli, Taiwan. Mandrakotra fito hektara ny valan-tany ary misy trano lehibe enina ao anatiny, anisan'izany ny foibem-pitantanana, ivon-toeram-pikarohana, trano fandriana ary andalam-pamokarana. Ny endriny dia mitovy amin'ny sarin'ny dragona Sinoa nentin-drazana, ary ny tafo mitondrotondro ambany dia mitahiry ny endriky ny havoana teo aloha. Ny tafo mitondrotondro koa dia mampihena ny hery aterin'ny rivotra ary mamela hametrahana takelaka masoandro any aoriana. Faritra maitso midadasika, hazo banyan efa ela ary tempoly eo an-toerana no voatahiry ao anatin'ilay tany.
