Bùyàn Pavilion Introduction
Buyan Pavilion is located near the junction of Shuangxi and Jiufen along Highway 102. It was named by Mr. Jian Huaxiang, the former township chief of Shuangxi District, derived from a line in a poem by Li Bai, "Seeing each other without weariness.” One side of the pavilion offers a view of the beautiful landscape of the entire Shuangxi area, while the other side allows for a distant gaze towards Ruifang. On clear days, one can even see the distant blue sea, and at specific times, a sea of clouds can also be observed, making the scenery quite excellent and perfectly befitting the name "Buyan Pavilion." Shuangxi is blessed with beautiful scenery and talented individuals, featuring a mountain that resembles a connection between the hilt and blade of a knife, which locals call "Cai Dao Lun." If you look closely into the distance, near Shuangxi Elementary School, there’s a Mountain resembling a bat with its wings spread, known as Bat Mountain. Additionally, one of the famous eight scenic views, "Spring Colors of Diaoshan," can also be found standing a bit farther away at Sandiaoling. Further along, towards the Keelung direction, you can see a small pavilion on the ridge, known as the famous Dadu Beauty Mountain. Interestingly, this spot happens to be the terminus of the Shuangxi section of Highway 102, and just a few more steps will take you to the boundary of Jiufen. All these fantastic views can only be witnessed from Buyan Pavilion.
