Taiwan Geographic Center Monument, Geographic monument at Mount Hutou in Puli Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.

The Taiwan Geographic Center Monument marks the exact middle point of the island with steel rings at the top of a columned structure.

The initial monument was built in the 1970s at Mount Hutou's base, while a second one was constructed at the peak following updated measurements.

The monument features an inscription by former President Chiang Ching-kuo and incorporates aboriginal design elements in its architectural style.

Visitors need to climb 400 stairs to reach the monument, which is accessible by taking a bus from Taichung Station to the Geography Center stop.

The monument stands at the former location of the Yoshitaka Shrine and includes concentric rings that became part of the Puli Township logo.
