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 was used for the production and experimentation of rubber seedlings, in conjunction with the Shanzaiting Botanical Garden. Pizitou is situated on flat land, unlike Shanzaiting's hilly terrain, and both locations conducted differential forestry experiments simultaneously. Later, it transitioned to tropical and subtropical afforestation trials, evolving into a site for cultivating tree species and greenery enhancement seedlings over the years. The botanical garden currently features areas for shrubs, vines, fragrant flowers, bamboo, and turf, as well as an urban multilayered forest landscape area, serving the four main functions of leisure, recreation, education, and research for the public and scholars.
