Tree Spirit Pagoda

Because of abundant of cypress timber, Alishan was used to be one of Taiwan’s three major forestry centers in the past. With natural conservation awareness coming into focus, lumbering is highly restricted. However, historic relics from Alishan’s lumbering history remains.

The Tree Spirit Pagoda (樹靈塔) was erected during the Japanese Colonial Era. People gathered here to host worship ceremonies to the Tree Spirit every March and September. The circular steps under the pagoda signify the growth rings of the tree, and the pagoda represents the trunk of the tree.
