Pizitou Botanical Garden Introduction
Pizitou Botanical Garden, located near the Cultural Center, was established in 1908 (the 41st year of the Meiji era). At that time, it served as a production and testing ground for rubber seedlings, in conjunction with the Shanzaiting Botanical Garden. Pizitou is situated on flat land, unlike the hilly terrain of Shanzaiting. Both sites conducted forestry experiments with differing characteristics, which later evolved into trials for tropical and subtropical afforestation. Over time, it has become a place for cultivating tree species for afforestation and ornamental plants. The botanical garden currently features areas for shrubs, vines, fragrant flowers, bamboo, grass, and urban multilayered landscapes, providing a location for the public and scholars to engage in recreational, educational, and research activities.
