Carp Mountain Park Introduction
Liyushan (Carp Mountain) is a hill located in the center of Taitung City, with an elevation of approximately 75 meters. It boasts a superior natural environment and an open view, allowing for distant views of Green Island and even Orchid Island on clear days. This area serves as a leisure green space for local residents, where one can enjoy the magnificent natural scenery from the mountaintop during morning or dusk, making it a great place to relax. Liyushan Park features a 1.7-kilometer-long trail for visitors to stroll and appreciate the beauty from different angles. Along the trail, several viewing platforms, including Lishou, Beiling, and Lwei, provide varying perspectives, allowing visitors to overlook the beautiful panorama of Taitung City. Liyushan Park is also rich in historical and cultural background. In the past, with few buildings in the city, Liyushan served as a landmark for people to orient themselves. Today, the park also houses the Martyrs' Shrine and several memorials honoring predecessors. Near Liyushan Park, the Children's Sports Park east of the County Sports Center features playground facilities and is accessible by foot, linking to Tiehua Village and Taitung Transfer Station.
