Dajia Tiezhanshan Scenic Area Introduction
Tiezhanshan, located in the northeastern corner of Dajia Township, is situated on the southern bank of the downriver Daan River, serving as a climatic boundary between northern and southern Taiwan and an important turning point for migratory birds returning to northern areas. The summit features a flat land area of several dozen square kilometers, resembling a quadrilateral pyramid, and the entire mountain looks like a giant anvil from a distance, hence its name. Tiezhanshan has numerous legends and was once listed as one of the eight scenic spots in central Taiwan; it has long been a famous landmark in Dajia. From the top, one can enjoy panoramic views of the winding Dajia and Daan Rivers, the turbulent Taiwan Strait in the distance, and the clearly delineated farmland and villages nearby, all offering breathtaking scenery. The scenic area is rich in cultural and historical sites, such as Jianjing and the Guoxing Temple, which are ancient monuments full of legendary significance. There is also a sculpture plaza deeply rooted in cultural heritage, designed to promote the integration of art into daily life. Other attractions include the Sculpture Park, the Armed Forces Memorial Park, the Weapon Exhibit, and the Yongxin Sports Park, showcasing the variety and richness of Tiezhanshan’s attractions. In recent years, it has become a popular weekend destination themed around family integration, cultural history, natural scenery, and outdoor camping. To enhance the promotion of Tiezhanshan tourism, guided tours are offered every Sunday morning, with two sessions: the first from 09:00 to 10:00 and the second from 10:30 to 11:30 (service is suspended during major holidays, long weekends, or make-up workdays).
