Swallows’ Grotto cave has a bad record. And perhaps because of that reason it does not really attract as many tourists as it should. Located in a short walk along the sea shore trail of Niutou mountain, Swallows’ Grotto cave was the place where the human corps at the nearby prison were cremated. You will find the small cemetery when walking down the trail. It is probably a little bit creepy there. However, it becomes the outstanding point of this place.
