Carp Mountain Park Introduction
Liyu Mountain is a hill located in the center of Taitung City, standing at an elevation of about 75 meters. It offers excellent natural environment and wide vistas, allowing visitors to glimpse Green Island and even Orchid Island on clear days. It serves as a recreational green space for local residents, where one can enjoy the magnificent natural scenery at dawn or dusk from the mountain top, making it a great place to relax. Liyu Mountain Park features a 1.7-kilometer-long trail for visitors to stroll and appreciate the beautiful views from different angles. Along the trail, there are several observation platforms, including Lishou, Beiling, and Litui, each offering unique perspectives for overlooking the beautiful landscape of Taitung City. Liyu Mountain Park also has a rich historical and cultural background. In the early days, there were few buildings in the city, and Liyu Mountain served as a landmark for people to find their direction. Today, the park also includes the Martyrs' Shrine and several memorials honoring predecessors. Nearby Liyu Mountain Park, a children's sports park is located on the eastern side of the County Sports Stadium, featuring playground equipment and providing walking connections to Tiehua Village and the Taitung Transfer Station, among other places.
