National Flag Hill Introduction
Guoqi Ridge, also known as Wainan Sejiao Mountain, has an elevation of 172 meters. The trail from Fuxing Elementary School to Yuantong Temple is called the Wainan Sejiao Trail or Yuantong Temple Trail. At the summit, there is a pavilion, known as the Guoqi Pavilion, and a cornerstone located next to the pavilion, painted entirely in red. In the middle of the small platform at the summit, there is a cornerstone. The nearby hiking trails along the ridgeline often pass through this area. It is said that a group of retired veterans climbed this peak in 1971, when Taiwan withdrew from the United Nations, to raise the national flag and built a hexagonal pavilion, naming it the Guoqi Pavilion; hence, this place is often referred to as Guoqi Ridge.
