Pizitou Botanical Garden Introduction
Pizitou Botanical Garden, located near the Cultural Center, serves four main functions: leisure, recreation, education, and research. Established in 1908 (Meiji 41), it was originally a site for the production and testing of rubber seedlings, alongside Shanzaiting Botanical Garden. Unlike Shanzaiting, which is situated in hilly terrain, Pizitou is located in flat land, and both locations conducted forestry experiments with different focuses. Over time, it transitioned to tropical and subtropical afforestation experiments and became a site for cultivating afforestation tree species and greenery beautification seedlings. Currently, the botanical garden features planned areas for shrubs, vines, fragrant flowers, bamboo, grass, and an urban multilayered forest landscape area, providing space for the public and scholars to engage in leisure, recreation, education, and research activities.
