Cigu Salt Mountains

The salt mountains that look like snow mountains from distance were originally the place for Taiwan Salt Corporation to pile salt. No matter when, there are always two high and big mountains there. Artists also call them the north mountain and the south mountain. The salt mountain with a height of almost four floors, Taiwan Salt Corporation did not open it for tourists to climb in the past and they could only stand at the mountain's foot and look up. Then Taiwan Salt Corporation built many stairs by the mountain so that tourists can climb up along them. One will never experience the huge salt mountain until he or she climbs to the top and looks far into the distance. Cigu Salt Mountain has become the local scenic wonder. Local and international visitors can go there from Provincial Highway No.17 and the address is No. 66, Yancheng Village. The opening hours are 9am to 5:30pm and free for visiting, but there is a charge of NT$100 for parking.
