Pizitou Botanical Garden Introduction
Pizitou Botanical Garden, located near the Cultural Center, was established in 1908 during the 41st year of the Meiji era. At that time, it served as a production and testing site for rubber seedlings, alongside the Shanziding Botanical Garden. Pizitou is situated in a flat area, unlike the hilly terrain of Shanziding, and both locations conducted differential forestry experiments concurrently. Later, it was transformed into a site for tropical and subtropical afforestation trials. With the passage of time, it evolved into a space for nurturing afforestation tree species and ornamental seedlings. Currently, the botanical garden is planned to include areas for shrubs, vines, fragrant flowers, bamboo, and turf, as well as an urban multi-layered forest landscape area, serving the four main functions of leisure, recreation, education, and research for the public and scholars.
