The Sun-Shooting Tower (Chinese: 射日塔; pinyin: Shèrì Tǎ) or Chiayi Tower is a tower built inside Chiayi Park, East District, Chiayi City, Taiwan.[1]
Design
The tower exterior designed was inspired by a giant sacred tree in Alishan. The brown aluminum pattern mimics the wood grain of the tree and the center is left with a 40 meter high empty space that mimics the crack in the center of that giant sacred tree.
The interior bronze sculpture is inspired by the "Sun-Shooting" legend of Taiwanese aborigines. This bronze-made sculpture is 24 meters tall and 3 meters wide.[2]
Features
The tower features an observation deck, a café and a small rooftop garden.[3]
Transportation
The tower is accessible within walking distance southeast from Beimen Station of the Alishan Forest Railway or using Chiayi County Bus from Chiayi Station of Taiwan Railways Administration.[4]
