Bùyàntíng Introduction
Buyan Pavilion is located along the Taiwan Highway 102 near the intersection of Shuangxi and Jiufen. It was named by Mr. Jian Huaxiang, the former township chief of Shuangxi, taken from the line in Li Bai's poem "Looking at each other without weariness." One side overlooks the beautiful scenery of the entire Shuangxi area, while the other side offers a distant view of Ruifang, and on clear days, one can even see the faraway blue sea. At certain times, a sea of clouds may also be visible, living up to the name "Buyan Pavilion." Shuangxi is known for its beautiful landscapes and notable figures, featuring a mountain that resembles a connection between a knife handle and blade, referred to by locals as "Cai Dao Lun." If you look carefully towards the distance near Shuangxi Elementary School, there is a Bat Mountain, which resembles a bat spreading its wings. There is also the famous scenic spot "Diao Mountain Spring Colors," known as Sandiao Ridge, standing not far away. Further beyond, one can see a small pavilion on the mountain ridge in the direction of Keelung, which is the famous Mt. Dadu Meiren. Interestingly, this spot marks the end of the Shuangxi section of Highway 102, and just a few more steps would lead to the Jiufen boundary. All these exquisite views can only be seen from Buyan Pavilion.
