Shimen Songshan Community Century-old Stone Terraces Introduction
The Songshan Terraces, located near Jian Mountain Lake in Shimen District, New Taipei City, are the only century-old stone terraces in Taiwan built with volcanic rock from Yangmingshan. Over three hundred years ago, the ancestors constructed the stone walls of the terraced fields using the triangular stacking method, creating beautiful geometric patterns with interlocking stones, complemented by the rural paths nearby. The irises bloom every year in April and May, while the cosmos flowers are in full bloom from mid to late June. During this season, the sea of flowers and the terraced landscape beautifully complement each other, creating a stunning view!
