Sankong Spring Trail Introduction
Sankong Spring, also known as Sankong泉, is located between Shuxing Village and Pingding Village in Tamsui. It is named for the three natural spring outlets that emerge in the area. Sankong Spring is the upstream region of the Huanggao Stream, one of Tamsui's fourteen streams, originating from the Shulin Kou Stream in Fenqi Lake and the Sankong Spring Stream from Xingfuliao. After converging to form Huanggao Stream, it flows westward into the Tamsui River. Situated on the hillside east of the current Tamsui MRT Station, it has been developed into a settlement since the Qing Dynasty, with traditional brick-built Han Chinese three-section houses, terraced vegetable gardens, and transformed leisure farms still visible today.
