The latest information is based on announcements from the New Taipei City Government's Cultural Affairs Bureau. Click here to proceed. Zhanlong Mountain is named after the hill cut through by the Da'an River. In 1955, archaeologists discovered prehistoric cultural layers here. In recent years, with the construction of the Banqiao Line of the MRT and Tucheng Hospital, numerous ancient artifacts have been excavated in the Zhanlong Mountain area, which has since been designated as a city archaeological site. It has been integrated with park facilities to become the vibrant Zhanlong Mountain Site Cultural Park. The Zhanlong Mountain archaeological site, dating back 2,800 to 2,300 years, is located at the southwestern corner of the Taipei Basin, at the highland where rivers and hills meet. It belongs to the Yangshao culture of the Neolithic period. The artifacts at Zhanlong Mountain are mainly polished stone tools and decorated pottery, preserved on-site within the park. Several explanatory boards with designs inspired by the pottery decorations have been erected in the park's open areas to lead visitors through thousands of years of history. Zhanlong Mountain Site Cultural Park has planned a simulated archaeological dig sandbox area where replicas of prehistoric pottery shards and stone tools await excavation, with a washing area set up for safe play. The hill slide area features multiple pebble slides, climbing ropes, and climbing stones, which are loved by children.
