Saoba Stone Pillars, Archaeological site in Ruisui, Taiwan.
Two stone pillars rise from the Wuhe Terrace, with the taller column measuring 5.75 meters in height and the shorter one reaching 3.99 meters.
The stone pillars date back to the Beinan culture from the Stone Age period, approximately 2,000 to 3,000 years before present time.
Local narratives incorporate the stone pillars into traditional stories about hunters, ancestral connections, and the transformation of materials through supernatural forces.
The archaeological site occupies an oval area spanning 600 meters in length and 400 meters in width, situated south of Ruisui Railway Station.
From this elevated location, visitors can observe the complete landscape of the Xiuguluan River valley while examining these ancient stone formations.
