Death of Chi Po-lin, Aerial filmmaker memorial site in Fengbin Township, Taiwan
The helicopter crash site near the coastal cliffs marks where Chi Po-lin, pilot Chang Chih-kuang, and assistant Chen Kuan-chi lost their lives on June 10, 2017.
The accident occurred during the filming of a sequel to Beyond Beauty: Taiwan From Above, which had previously won the Golden Horse Award for Best Documentary in 2013.
The loss of Chi Po-lin led to nationwide tributes, including President Tsai Ing-wen acknowledging his contributions to environmental awareness through aerial cinematography.
The memorial location in Hualien County serves as a reminder of safety considerations in aerial photography and the risks professionals take to document landscapes.
An asteroid discovered in 2006 was named 281068 Chipolin to honor the filmmaker's dedication to capturing Taiwan's natural beauty from above.
