Hutou Mountain Introduction
Originally named Tiger Islet, it is located 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. The mountain shape resembles a fierce tiger raising its head and howling. From the summit, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Tongxiao, where the sky meets the sea, and the former "Tiger Islet Tide Watching" was listed as Tongxiao's top scenic spot. Huthou Mountain features four historical sites: the Taiwan Restoration Monument, ancient cannons, a shrine, and the Shou Gong Temple. The ancient cannons remain from the Japanese colonial period and are said to have participated in the Russo-Japanese War, representing 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 hiking.
