The point farthest from the sea in Taiwan as calculated by Canadian geographer Tyler Cottenie (李哲愷). It is 67.411 km from the nearest coastline (itself a nebulous boundary) but only around 150 meters from the nearest road in Alishan. Tyler visited the site in 2016 and placed a laminated bilingual sign on a tree within 5 meters of the exact spot. It was later featured in local news media and later visitors added a geocache to the site.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
