New Taipei City Travel

The sense of reminiscence that passes through the time and space: The bicycle tunnel that integrates with the culture, history and tourism

The “Sijiaoku Observatory” is designed as a large heart shape building paved with white cobbles, which further embraces a structure of double hollow hearts, making it a destination adored by couples.

Located on the easternmost cape in Taiwan, the Sandiaojiao lighthouse is the Island’s first place to greet the dawn every morning.

Located to the north of Sandiaojiao Lighthouse is an exotic building – the Sandiaojiao Fort, although very few people come here, yet one can admire the magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean here. The Spanish people discovered this place in the past and named it “San Diego” which is called “Sandiaojiao” now. Other than visiting the “Sandiaojiao Lighthouse”- also known as the eye of Taiwan, one can also head northward to the “Sandiaojiao Fort “where you will be able to see Taiwan’s Easternmost Point – “Magang Fishing Village” here. The reconstructed white observation platform building and the dome is enriched with a Mediterranean sentiment, one can even have the opportunity to take dreamy photos of blue Greece, if you arrive here before sunrise!

For more than a hundred years, humble villagers live on culturing the vari-colored abalone (Haliotis diversicolor) and fishing. When visiting the village, visitors must take pictures of the “century-old stone houses”, valuable cultural heritage, to imagine the living conditions of the Kevalan people in those days. Lazy cats are another tribe inhabiting this humble fishing village. When they sun-bathe in the street and on the road, they look so cute.

Looking towards the right from Fulian Elementary School, visitors would find a small fishing village settlement not far away, and it is exactly the Maoao Fishing Port. After enjoying water activities by the shore, visitors could follow the Northern Coastal Highway and travel towards the east to the Maoao Fishing Port. Before entering the Fishing Port, there are several ancient stone houses nearby; the stone materials exactly came from sandrocks by the seashore, the roof trusses came from the bamboos in the back mountains, and the roof thatched with grass straw. This “drawn from locally available materials” way of building the ancient houses is full of our ancestors’ wisdom! Today, these stone ancient houses are mostly deserted and slowly crumbling down, so hurry and come capture traces of history before they are completely gone!
