Shoot Sun Tower Introduction
The unique landscape of Taiwan, the Sun Shooting Tower that even the legendary Kua Fu cannot catch! The Sun Shooting Tower is the most representative new landmark in Chiayi City, located within Chiayi Park. Visitors can simply look up to see a gigantic Orchid Tree flower, beautifully complemented by the blue sky. The Orchid Tree is the city flower of Chiayi City, and the tower showcases the beauty of this flower perfectly. This circular building, designed with the city flower as its sloped roof, is situated at the former site of the old Martyrs' Shrine. Standing at a height of 62 meters, visitors can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Zhu Luo from the 10th and 11th highest floors, taking in the picturesque mountain town. At the entrance, there are a pair of bronze sculptures of cloud leopards symbolizing Taiwan's guardian spirits. The base level houses the Martyrs' Shrine, with the names of the martyrs carved in white marble for public worship. Above the second floor is the Sun Shooting Tower, which aims to change the public's stereotypical perception of the old Martyrs' Shrine; this building represents a significant breakthrough in both its interior and exterior design, infusing a rich cultural and artistic atmosphere.
