Hutou Mountain Introduction
Originally known as Tiger Island, it is located to the north of the city, facing south, and serves as a natural barrier against the northeast monsoon. With an elevation of about 93 meters, it is lush and green, with a mountain shape resembling a fierce tiger roaring upwards. From the summit, one can enjoy a panoramic view of Tongxiao, where the sea and sky blend together. In the past, "Tiger Island Tide Watching" was regarded as the top scenic spot in Tongxiao. Hutuoshan features four historical sites: the Taiwan Restoration Memorial, an old cannon, a shrine, and the Shou Gong Shrine. The old cannon is a remnant from the Japanese colonial era and is said to have participated in the Russo-Japanese War, being the most advanced yellow explosive artillery of its time. The environmental park on the mountain combines natural landscapes with ecological conservation, making it a great place for leisure and hiking.
