Choose a transportation method based on your departure location.

Jingan Bridge

The bridge is 128 meters in length, and is the junction bridge between Shifen Village and Nanshan Village. Constructed in 1947, the bridge was used for the transportation of coalmine back then. After mining has stopped, it has been renovated and repurposed as the bridge for pedestrians. It is located close to Shifen Station and the old street, with Keelung River beneath it, and the blue-white colored bridge hence became a popular spot for visitors to take photos with.

Ciyou Temple

The nearly 300 year old temple, often called Xinzhuang Matzu Temple, is the oldest in the district and a third-grade historic site. According to Taiwan Tongshi, a book about Taiwanese history, it began as a tiny temple but later became a religious center as local development accelerated and the site was expanded for the worship of Mazu.
