Hutou Mountain Introduction
Originally named Tiger Island, it is located north of the urban area, facing south. It serves as a natural barrier against the northeast monsoon, with an elevation of about 93 meters. It is lush and green, and the shape of the mountain resembles a fierce tiger looking up and roaring. From the summit, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Tongxiao, where the sea and sky merge into one. In the past, "Tiger Island Tide Watching" was listed as the top scenic spot in Tongxiao. Huatou Mountain features four historical sites: the Taiwan Restoration Memorial, ancient cannons, a shrine, and the Shou Gong Temple. The ancient cannons, remnants from the Japanese colonial period, are said to have participated in the Russo-Japanese War and were once the most advanced yellow explosive artillery of that time. The environmental park on the mountain combines natural landscapes with ecological conservation, making it a great place for leisure and nature walks.
