Ch'en Cheng-chang, town magistrate points out that bamboo thrives in warm, humid areas and Chushan, with its average elevation of 1000 meters and its southwest exposure, which ensures ample yearly rainfall totals, is ideal for successful bamboo growth.
鎮長陳政璋指出：「竹類性喜溫濕，竹山平均為海拔一千公尺的山地，地勢不高不低，又迎進強大氣流，雨量充沛，極適合竹類生長」。
