觀音臺遠景

Located at the top of the mountain behind Pinglin Junior High School, this place was originally the site of a shrine during Japanese rule and was later transformed into Guanyin Pavilion. There is a trail leading to it, and the Guanyin Pavilion stands 40 feet tall. In the circular landscape square with a diameter of 21 meters, the Guanyin statue is situated in the center, with a lotus pedestal that reaches approximately 11 meters high, facing south towards the layers of mountains, symbolizing the long-lasting prosperity of the people. It is not only a landmark of Pinglin but also the tallest bronze Guanyin statue in Northern Taiwan. Following the trail of the Guanyin Pavilion down the mountain, it faces the "Siyuan Pavilion" and looks out across at the Mazu of the tea-growing region, protecting the local people. Since visitors are already here, it's a good idea to walk a bit more to exercise, and from this point, you can also see the North-Yilan Highway and the Xueshan Tunnel, offering an amazing view!
