New Taipei City Travel

The existence of the Diaoshan Trail can be traced back to 1898, when gold was discovered in the rivers and creeks. The subsequent discovery of gold mine outcrops attracted many curious miners. Back during the mining boom of Shuinandong, Jinguashi, and Jiufen, the Diaoshan Trail was used frequently. With this background information, an unresolved legend of the woeful Fruitless Grave was created on the Diaoshan Trail. The Fruitless Grave is located closer to the exit of the trail, with the inscription on the stone monument dating it back to 1902.

On a trip to Yingge besides being able to try pottery kneading and throwing, children can take mosaic and pastiche classes where they can easily make household objects like picture frames or penholders. One of the best places to try these DIY activities is on the ceramics old street at a place called Taoqu House Workshop.
