Sun-Shooting Tower, Observation tower in Chiayi Park, Taiwan
The Sun-Shooting Tower rises 62 meters into the sky, featuring an architectural design that replicates the appearance of an Alishan tree with brown aluminum patterns.
The tower, constructed and opened to the public in 1998, stands as a modern addition to the established landscape of Chiayi Park in East District.
A 24-meter bronze sculpture inside the tower depicts the Sun-Shooting legend from Taiwanese indigenous peoples, connecting visitors to local mythology.
Visitors can access the tower by walking southeast from Beimen Station of the Alishan Forest Railway or taking a Chiayi County Bus from Taiwan Railways Station.
The tower features a 40-meter vertical empty space in its center, mirroring the natural crack found in the trunk of an Alishan giant sacred tree.
