The local characteristics of the five pits of Guishan are transformed into the five local tortoises with unique styles.

・Jiulukeng: The Central Mint/Coin (Wealth)
・Fengshukeng: Agriculture/Rice (Land)
・Xinlukeng: Military Village/Military Cap (Culture)
・Taliaokeng: Watchtower/Binocular, Guanyin Belief/Lotus (Peace)
・Tuzikeng: Coal/Flame (Prosperity)

The five tortoises work together to support the warm and familiar Ang Ku Kueh (red tortoise cake) mold, which not only inherits the shared memories but also supports Guishan’s wealth, land, culture, peace, vision, and prosperity to head toward “diversified Gui shan, sustainable future.”
