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 site for rubber seedlings, alongside the Shanzaiting Botanical Garden. Pizitou is situated on flat land, unlike the hilly terrain of Shanzaiting, and both locations conducted diverse forestry experiments simultaneously. Later, it transformed into a site for tropical and subtropical afforestation trials. Over the years, it evolved into a place for cultivating afforestation tree species and landscaping seedlings. Currently, the botanical garden features areas for shrubs, vines, fragrant flowers, bamboo, grass, and an urban multilayer forest landscape, catering to the four main functions of leisure, recreation, education, and research for the public and scholars.
