Zhishan Cultural and Ecological Green Park Introduction
Zhishanyan has archaeological pits that have uncovered human remains from about 2500 years ago, along with many important treasures and archaeological resources. Over 6000 years, it has developed into seven cultural layers of ruins, making it a living archaeological classroom. In 1896, there was an incident known as the "Zhishanyan Incident," where anti-Japanese insurgents attacked Japanese teachers. After the restoration of Taiwan, it became a military stronghold for the Intelligence Bureau. Recently, under the planning of the Taipei City Cultural Bureau, the former ammunition depot has been transformed into an exhibition hall. Visitors can enjoy nature on the natural trail in Zhishan and visit the exhibition hall to learn about the cultural background of Zhishan and explore the deeper secrets of Taipei City. The Zhishanyan Exhibition Hall integrates the natural ecology and geological landscape of Zhishan. The first floor features physical exhibition rooms: a stratigraphic model that clearly displays the patterns and changes of the different strata; a model of the entire area that provides an overview of Zhishanyan; and a pottery restoration model that shows the tools used by our ancestors, illustrating the evolution from rough to refined. The first floor also has many explanation panels, such as a prehistoric archaeology corridor that introduces the history and discoveries of archaeology, as well as information on animal and plant ecology, geological explanations, biological descriptions, and more, allowing visitors to understand the story of Zhishan. The second floor includes multimedia classrooms with DIY workshops where visitors can unleash their creativity, and a screening room for occasional ecological film viewings. Additionally, there is a small news anchor experience booth for children to enjoy the fun of reporting news. The establishment of the exhibition hall is the first step in preserving Zhishanyan's culture, and the most important value of the exhibition hall is to evoke the public's attention and affection for this land during their visit.
