National Flag Hill Introduction
Guoqi Ridge, also known as Wainan Water Corner Mountain, has an elevation of 172 meters. The section from Fuxing Elementary School to Yuantong Temple is called the Wainan Water Corner Trail or Yuantong Temple Trail. At the summit, there is a pavilion and a national flag pole, with a cornerstone located beside the pavilion, painted entirely in red. In the small platform at the top, there is a cornerstone in the center. The nearby mountain trails along the ridgeline often pass through this area. It is rumored that a group of retired veterans climbed this mountain in 1971 when Taiwan withdrew from the United Nations, erected the national flag, and built a hexagonal pavilion, naming it the National Flag Pavilion, which is why this place is often referred to as Guoqi Ridge.
