Sun Shooting Tower Introduction

During the Spring Festival holiday period (January 31 - February 6), the opening hours are: January 31 (New Year's Eve) to February 6 (the sixth day of the Lunar New Year) from 10:00 to 18:00. The unparalleled view across Taiwan, the Sun Shooting Tower that even the Kua Fu couldn't catch up with! The Sun Shooting Tower is the most representative new landmark in Chiayi City, located in Chiayi Park. People only need to look up to see a giant purple bauhinia flower, contrasting beautifully with the blue sky. The purple bauhinia is the city flower of Chiayi, and through the Sun Shooting Tower, its beauty is fully displayed! This circular building, with the city flower of Chiayi as its sloped roof, is located at the former site of the old Martyrs' Shrine. The 62-meter tall Sun Shooting Tower allows visitors to enjoy a 360-degree view of the Zhu Luo landscape from the tenth and eleventh floors. At the entrance, there are a pair of cloud leopard bronze sculptures symbolizing Taiwan's guardian deities. The ground level features the Martyrs' Shrine, with the martyrs' tablets carved in white marble for public worship. Above the second floor is the Sun Shooting Tower, which has made significant breakthroughs in both interior and exterior design to change the public's stereotypical impression of the old Martyrs' Shrine, infusing it with more cultural and artistic atmosphere.
