虎頭山上的景觀餐廳視野非常好

Yujing, formerly known as Tsaobaren, was the site of a large-scale armed anti-Japanese action led by Yu Ching-fang and others in the mountainous region of Nanhua during the Japanese rule in 1915, an event known as the Tsaobaren incident, which resulted in heavy casualties. Hutou Mountain is located to the east of Yujing, with an elevation of 239 meters. As the name suggests, it is named for its tiger head-like shape and served as an ancient battlefield of the Tsaobaren incident. At the summit, there is a memorial monument for the anti-Japanese martyr Yu Ching-fang, making it the highest point in Yujing. From the mountain, one can overlook the entire Chianan Plain, Yujing, Nanshi, and the magnificent scenery of the overlapping peaks of the Alishan mountain range. The path to the top is lined with Nam Doc Mai and local mango trees. In April and May, the mountain blooms with flowers, and in June and July, it is adorned with abundant fruits, making it particularly beautiful. Several elegant and culturally rich landscaped garden restaurants have been built around the summit, where visitors can enjoy the expansive view of the misty mountains while listening to beautiful music and tasting coffee, authentic Yujing mango ice products, and specially-made mango dishes.
