National Flag Hill Introduction
Guoqi Ridge, also known as Wainanseijiao Mountain, has an elevation of 172 meters. The section from Fuxing Elementary School to Yuantong Temple is called the Wainanseijiao Trail or Yuantong Temple Trail. At the summit, there is a pavilion and a national flag pavilion, with a cornerstone located next to the pavilion, painted entirely in red. In the middle of a small platform at the top stands this cornerstone. The nearby hiking trails along the ridge line often pass through here. According to legend, a group of retired veterans climbed this mountain in 1971 when Taiwan withdrew from the United Nations, raised 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.
