Dingyan Bay Sioge Mountain Trail Introduction
Sigeshan is located in Dingyan Bay, Binlang Village, Beinan Township, Taitung. It is just a 20-minute drive from Taitung City railway station. Geologically, it is situated at the end of the Coastal Mountain Range, formed by the collision between the Philippine Sea Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The name Sigeshan comes from the Paiwan language meaning "land for planting betel nut trees." Due to its advantageous terrain, it was designated as a military base during the Japanese colonial period, where artillery was installed. Although its elevation is only 410 meters, it serves as a vantage point over the Taitung Plain and is an excellent place to overlook Taitung City and the surrounding mountainous landscape. It is also a hidden gem for leisure hiking, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city nearby.
