Is there any kind of monument or marker for the Tropic of Cancer along the coast on the east side of Taiwan?
On my way down the west coast of Taiwan some weeks ago I passed a large monument marking the Tropic of Cancer. The site itself was a bit cheesy but just having a monument at all to mark the tropic and have a rest stop at is still nice.
Now I'm heading up the east coast and I thought heading for a similar marker, even if smaller, might make a cool goal for today or tomorrow.
I want to head up the main route closest to the coast, highway 11.
But so far the only Tropic of Cancer monument I can find on the east coast is 50km inland at Ruisui Township.
Is there one on route 11 or very close to it? Also right on the coast is great if route 11 is a bit away from the coast at that point.
