Geographical Center Marker of Taiwan Introduction
Located at the foot of Mount Huyang in Puli Township, adjacent to Puwu Road and beside Puli High School of Technology. Former President Chiang Ching-kuo once described it as "clear mountains and beautiful waters." The monument features an aesthetically pleasing and majestic design, embraced by two white curved walls. The central base is a three-meter high ochre plaque, topped with a stainless steel pole, which supports two intersecting circular rings at the top, resembling a partially opened lily flower. This site holds geographical significance as a scenic spot. From the stairs below the central monument, the lush green mountain shadows highlight the exquisite design lines, making it very spectacular. Climbing the stone steps behind the monument, there are about four hundred steps leading to the astronomical point at the geographic center of Taiwan on Huzishan Mountain. Built by the Forestry and Nature Conservation Bureau, it serves as the geometric center of Taiwan and is the largest triangulation point in the island. Huzishan Mountain is home to ancient pines, lush and magnificent. From the summit, one can witness the extraordinary sights of sunrises and sunsets and overlook the landscapes of the Puli Basin.
