New Taipei City Travel

Located about 29 kilometers along the No. 2 Provincial Highway is Shimen (Stone) Arch. This is not a cave at all, but a stone arch formed by erosion. Standing at the side of the highway, it offers an excellent spot to look out at the sea. On top of the stone arch there are seats and what remains of a gun emplacement.

Lauded as a palace of Eastern art, the Temple shows the beauty of Eastern religious art.

Zhongxiao Wharf is located approximately 300 m downstream of Zhongxiao Bridge on Tamsui River (Sanchong District of New Taipei City), opposite the Dadaocheng Wharf in Taipei City across the riverbank. Since the wharf is situated on the estuary of the river, it adopts a floating design, which automatically adjusts the height between the wharf and embankment depending on the tidal range of the river so that boats docking and passengers embarking/disembarking the boat will not be affected by the tide. The main characteristic of the wharf are the 8 vibrantly colored mooring bollards featuring wild duck-shaped wind gauges to complement the theme of Hua-Jiang Wild Duck Nature Park nearby. In recent years, it has become a popular destination for photography enthusiasts to capture the splendid view of the sunset.

The “Golden Waterfall is located right beside the road at ShueiNanDong. One can see water gushing out from underground. After seeping through mining areas and contacting with sulfur, arsenic and copper ores, the redox and iron synthesis transformed the water into a golden acidic mineral water with a tint of orange. Seen from afar it looks like a gigantic wall of golden rock cliff, reputed as the “Golden Waterfall” by later generations for the spectacle.
