Hutoushan park, Mountain park in Guishan District and Taoyuan District, Taiwan.
Hutoushan Park is a mountain park spanning two districts in Taiwan with trails linking various playgrounds, recreational areas, temples, and viewpoints. The site reaches an elevation of 251 meters, providing views of the surrounding landscape from multiple observation spots.
The mountain takes its name from its natural formation resembling a tiger's head, which influenced local naming conventions over time. This geographical feature became the basis for the area's long-standing identity.
The shrine within the grounds hosts worship practices where visitors encounter incense and prayer offerings during their visit. These religious spaces remain integral to how locals interact with the mountain throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the park through several access points and should wear sturdy footwear for the walking trails. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the site is less crowded.
A prominent windmill stands at the park's entrance demonstrating environmental initiatives and serving as a symbol of sustainable practices. The nearby Owl Forest School offers educational programs focused on local wildlife.
