The Provincial Highway 9 Ruishui Marker (above) marks the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5 degrees on the northern latitude, in Taiwan. The spot was developed in 1933 by the Japanese colonial government. This monument was finished 48 years later. It is on the side of hill. Trees and bush cover the area.
Provincial Highway 11 is Taiwan's easternmost highway. This is a newer marker. There are food and souvenir shops next to this 23.5 north and across the highway. Provincial Highway 11 is the fastest way to get from Hualien to Taitung driving.
