Tiger Inscription, Stone inscription in Gongliao District, Taiwan.
The Tiger Inscription is a stone marker with carved Chinese characters along the Caoling Old Trail in Gongliao District. The stone sits on a mountain path through trees and represents an administrative boundary marker from centuries ago.
The stone marker was created in 1807 during the Qing Dynasty to mark trade routes through mountainous terrain. Its creation shows how officials tracked and marked passages through remote areas.
The inscription shows traditional Chinese stonework and served as a sign of administrative presence along travel routes. It reflects how people marked important places to guide merchants and show where authority reached.
The stone sits along the Caoling Old Trail, and visitors reach it best from Fulong railway station. The hiking path is steep in places, so wear proper shoes and allow time for walking.
From its perch, the stone offers views toward mountains and the Pacific Ocean beyond. This vantage point makes it a special place on the hike where the landscape opens up in both directions.
