Central Geographical Marker of Taiwan Introduction
Located at the foothill of Huo Tou Mountain in Puli Township, adjacent to Puwu Highway and Puli Industrial Vocational High School. President Chiang Ching-kuo once described it with the phrase "clear mountains and beautiful waters." The monument features a beautiful and majestic design, embraced by two white curved walls. In the center, a three-meter-high ochre-colored plaque stands on a pedestal, topped with a stainless steel pole that supports two intersecting circular rings, resembling a half-open lily flower. It is a tourist spot with geographical significance. From the steps leading down to the central monument, the lush green mountain backdrop highlights the exquisite design lines, creating a spectacular view. Climbing up the stone steps behind the monument, which number over four hundred, one can reach the peak of Huozi Mountain, the geographic center and astronomical reference point of Taiwan, built by the Forestry and Nature Conservation Administration. It is also the largest triangulation point in Taiwan. The peak is home to ancient pine trees, lush and magnificent. From this vantage point, visitors can enjoy the breathtaking views of sunrises and sunsets, as well as overlook the scenery of the Puli Basin.
