New Taipei City Gold Museum Introduction
The Gold Museum focuses on the history of the mining industry and gold, integrating the settlement characteristics, mining history, local culture, and ecological landscape of the Jinguashi area. It is the first museum in Taiwan based on the concept of an ecological museum and has been committed to sustainable resource management and ecotourism since its opening in November 2004. The museum collaborates with the community to ensure the proper preservation of the precious natural ecology, mining heritage, scenic beauty, historical memories, and cultural assets of the Jinguashi and ShuiNanDong areas, giving them a new look. In addition to the captivating natural scenery, the Jinguashi area is also a place filled with touching stories and memories of life. The traces of over a century of gold mining history are scattered throughout the Jinguashi settlement and surrounding mining areas, leaving behind many historical buildings, tunnels, and mining tools from the gold mining era, testifying to the economic activities and history of East Asian mining in the first half of the 20th century. Artifacts from the Taiwan Metal Mining Corporation during the period of the Nationalist Government document the various aspects of gold mining after World War II.
