Geographical Center Monument of Taiwan Introduction
Located at the foot of Hutaoshan Mountain in Puli Township, adjacent to Puwu Highway and beside Puli Vocational High School. Former President Chiang Ching-kuo once referred to it as "clear mountains and crystalline waters." The monument is beautifully and majestically designed, embraced by two white curved walls, with a three-meter high ochre-colored tablet at the center. A stainless steel rod stands upright from the tablet, topped with two intersecting rings, resembling a half-open lily flower, making it a site of geographical significance. From the stairs below the monument, the lush green mountain backdrop highlights the unique design lines, creating a spectacular view. Climbing up the stone steps behind the monument, there are more than four hundred steps leading to the summit of Huzishan, the astronomical point of Taiwan's geographic center, built by the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency. It is also the largest triangulation point in Taiwan. The summit of Huzishan is home to ancient pines, vibrant and magnificent. From this vantage point, one can enjoy the breathtaking views of sunrise and sunset, as well as a bird's-eye view of the Puli Basin.
