Introduction
A peaceful hike to the Guangfu Memorial Bell surrounded by scenic beauty
On Yuanshan stands the Guangfu Memorial Bell from 1985, which was planned by the then town mayor, Chang Hsiu-feng, who called for the local people to build the bell in memorial of the 40th anniversary of Taiwan Restoration. As the biggest copper bell in the country at that time, this bell symbolizes human’s noble ideas of seeking peace, embodying the significance of the period. The Yuanshan Trail is not too difficult and suitable for all ages. Along the way, there are many small but also beautiful scenic spots, such as the Changchun Firefly Trail and the Yuanshan Color Wall. On each side of the mountain trail are Tung trees, making it a good place for hiking and exploring for secluded beauty.
Climb up and take in the midnight skyline; the later at night, the greater the beauty
Yuanshan is 291 meters above sea level. With pavilions to enjoy the flourishing greenery, it is the backyard garden for the residents of Sanxia to go rest and exercise. It also attracts numerous tourists on weekends, who come to Yuanshan at dusk to gaze down on the flood plain of Dahan River and admire the lights in Sanxia, Yingge, and Bade Districts. In addition, at night, National Freeway No. 3 shines like a sheet of stars on the ground; one will never get tired of this view. During a cloudless night, one can even witness the skyline of Taipei City from dozens of kilometers away. As the night comes on, the view only becomes more beautiful.
