Beitou Garbage Incineration Plant Observation Deck Introduction
Beitou Incineration Plant was established on July 1, 1991, originally named Shilin Incineration Plant. On July 1, 1995, it was renamed Beitou Incineration Plant after the site was reclassified to Beitou District, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Environmental Protection Bureau of Taipei City Government. The observation deck is located at the top of the painted chimney tower, which stands 116 meters tall, accessible via a transparent scenic elevator from the first-floor entrance. The observation deck features expansive floor-to-ceiling windows offering a 360-degree view, where visitors can gaze at the Yangmingshan, Guanyin, and Datun mountain ranges, as well as the rivers of Tamsui and Keelung that enclose Shizitou Island. Looking down, one can see a vast expanse of mountains, waters, and the lush Guandu Plain. In the evening, the sunset over Guanyin and the dazzling night scenery can be fully enjoyed, making it a famous observation spot in Taipei City. The facility also provides informative displays comparing the actual景點.
