Geographical Center Monument of Taiwan Introduction
Located at the foot of Huling Mountain in Puli Township, adjacent to Puli-Wu Highway and Puli Senior High School. Former President Chiang Ching-kuo once emphasized the phrase "clear mountains and beautiful waters" in this location. The monument is beautifully designed and majestic, surrounded by two white arch walls, with a three-meter high ochre-colored plaque in the middle, topped with a stainless steel pole, and at the very top, two intercrossed circular rings. The entire shape resembles a half-open lily flower, making it a scenic spot of geographical significance. From the steps below the main monument, the verdant mountain shadows complement the unique design lines, creating a spectacular view. By ascending the stone steps behind the monument, with over four hundred steps, one can reach the summit of Tiger Mountain, which is the astronomical point of Taiwan's geographical center built by the Forestry and Natural Conservation Agency, and it is also the largest triangulation point in Taiwan. The summit of Tiger Mountain is home to ancient pine trees, lush and magnificent. From this vantage point, one can witness the spectacular scenes of sunrises and sunsets, as well as enjoy the panoramic view of the Puli Basin.
