觀音臺遠景

Located on the mountain top behind Pinglin Junior High School, this site was originally the location of a shrine during the Japanese occupation and was later transformed into the Guanyin Pavilion. There is a trail that leads to it, and the Guanyin Pavilion stands 40 feet high, in a circular scenic square with a diameter of 21 meters. The statue of Guanyin is situated in the center of the square, with a lotus seat that is approximately 11 meters high, facing south towards the layered mountains, symbolizing the enduring legacy of the people. It is not only a landmark in Pinglin but also the tallest bronze Guanyin statue in northern Taiwan. Following the trail to ascend and descend the mountain, the Guanyin Pavilion faces the "Siyuan Pavilion," gazing toward the Mazu of Tea Village, offering protection to the local residents. Since visitors have already come this far, it is worthwhile to take a longer walk to exercise, and from here one can also see the North-Yilan Highway and the Xueshan Tunnel, providing an excellent view!
