Geographical Center Monument of Taiwan Introduction
Located at the foot of Hutuoshan in Puli Township, adjacent to the Puwu Highway and Puli Senior High School. Former President Chiang Ching-kuo once referred to it as "a place of beautiful mountains and clear water." The monument has an attractive and majestic design, embraced by two white curved walls. The central monument stands three meters high with a reddish-brown plaque, topped with a stainless steel pole, and at the very top, two intersecting rings. The entire shape resembles a half-open lily flower, making it a tourist destination with geographical significance. From the steps below the central monument, the green mountain shadows reflect the unique design lines, creating a spectacular view. Climbing up the stone steps behind the monument, which has over four hundred steps, leads to the top of Huzishan, the astronomical reference point of Taiwan. Constructed by the Forest Service and the Council of Agriculture, it serves as the geometric center of Taiwan and is the largest triangulation point in the country. At the summit of Huzishan, ancient pines flourish, creating a lush and magnificent sight. From here, one can enjoy the breathtaking views of sunrises and sunsets as well as overlook the scenery of the Puli Basin.
