Wutai Observation Deck

Located in Shen Mountain Village, Wutai Township, Pingtung, the Wutai Observation Deck sits at an altitude of approximately 1,100 meters. It serves as an excellent vantage point before entering the sacred mountain of the Rukai people, "Mount Dawu." The platform faces the Wutai Valley and North Dawu Mountain, offering a panoramic view of layered mountain ranges, a sea of clouds, and the entirety of the Wutai Village. On clear days, you can even see as far as the Taiwan Strait. Adjacent to the deck is a pavilion adorned with Rukai tribal motifs, including the hundred pacer snake totem and glass bead decorations, exuding indigenous cultural charm. This spot is also a popular cherry blossom viewing destination. During the Wutai Cherry Blossom Festival in February, mountain cherry blossoms bloom along the roadside, making the observation deck a prime photo spot. Open to the public for free with convenient parking, it is a must-visit hidden gem for self-driving travelers in southern Taiwan.
