Hutou Mountain Introduction
Yuchi, formerly known as Jiapahni, was the site of a major armed anti-Japanese action led by Yu Ching-fang and others in the mountainous area of Nanhua Mountain during the Japanese colonial period in 1915, which resulted in heavy casualties known as the Jiapahni Incident. Hutou Mountain, located to the east of Yuchi, has an elevation of 239 meters. As the name implies, it is named for its shape resembling a tiger's head and is an ancient battlefield of the Jiapahni Incident. At the summit stands a monument dedicated to the anti-Japanese martyr Yu Ching-fang. This location is the highest point in Yuchi, offering a panoramic view of the Chianan Plain, as well as the beautiful scenery of Nanshi and the rugged Ali Mountain range. Along the way to the mountain, the sides are lined with Ai Wen and local mango trees, which bloom beautifully in April and May and bear fruit in June and July. Additionally, several elegant and culturally rich scenic garden restaurants have been established around the summit, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the misty mountains while listening to beautiful music and tasting coffee, authentic Yuchi mango ice, and special mango dishes.
