由四分尾山眺望臺北盆地

Siufenwei Mountain is located in the southern mountain range of the bustling area of Xizhi, named for its shape resembling a four-sided golden pagoda. It acts as a boundary mountain between four nearby settlements and is also known by another name, Jiadongjiao Mountain. The hiking trail starts from the Tianxiu Temple, covering a distance of approximately 2.8 kilometers one way, and it first passes by the well-known minor peak - Xizhi Dajian Mountain. Compared to Dajian Mountain, which is over 400 meters high, Siufenwei Mountain, standing at an altitude of 641 meters, offers a more expansive view closer to the sky. On clear days, visitors can enjoy the urban scenery of Taipei City and, looking northeast, can see Keelung Harbor and Keelung Island within sight. Siufenwei Mountain was also a major thoroughfare in the past for travelers between Xizhi, Shiding, and Nangang, allowing them to enjoy beautiful views while tracing the footsteps of their ancestors.
