Tainan Attractions

虎頭山上的景觀餐廳視野非常好

Yujing, formerly known as "Jiao Baye," was the site of a large armed anti-Japanese movement led by Yu Qingfang and others in the mountainous area of Nanhua Mountain during the Japanese colonial period in 1915, which resulted in heavy casualties and is referred to as the Jiao Baye Incident. Hutou Mountain is located to the east of Yujing, with an elevation of 239 meters. As the name suggests, it is named for the shape of the mountain resembling a tiger's head and is an ancient battlefield of the Jiao Baye Incident. At the summit, there is a monument commemorating the anti-Japanese martyr Yu Qingfang. This is the highest point in Yujing, and from the top of the mountain, one can take in the breathtaking views of the Chianan Plain, Yujing, Nanshi, and the beautiful scenery of the Alishan mountain range in the distance. Along the path to the summit, there are many Irwin and local mango trees planted on both sides, creating a stunning sight when the flowers bloom in April and May, and when the fruits are abundant in June and July. Surrounding the mountaintop, several elegant and culturally rich scenic garden restaurants have been built, where visitors can enjoy the vast landscape shrouded in mist while listening to beautiful music and savoring coffee, local Yujing mango ice treats, and special mango dishes.
