The latest information is based on announcements from the New Taipei City Government's Cultural Bureau, click here to proceed. Zhanlong Mountain is named after the hill intersected by the Da’an River. In 1955, archaeologists discovered prehistoric cultural layers here. In recent years, with the construction of the Bannan Line of the MRT and Tucheng Hospital, many ancient artifacts have been unearthed in the Zhanlong Mountain area, which has since been designated as a city archaeological site and, combined with park facilities, has become the lively Zhanlong Mountain Archaeological Site Cultural Park. The Neolithic archaeological site of Zhanlong Mountain is located in the southwestern corner of the Taipei Basin, at the high ground at the junction of rivers and hills, dating back 2,800 to 2,300 years. It belongs to the Yuanshan culture type of the Neolithic period. The artifacts from Zhanlong Mountain are primarily polished stone tools and decorated pottery, preserved on-site within the park. Utilizing the patterns from the pottery as design elements, several interpretive panels have been erected in the park's open areas to guide visitors through thousands of years of history. For family fun, the Zhanlong Mountain Archaeological Site Cultural Park has planned a simulated archaeological excavation sandbox area, containing replica prehistoric pottery shards and stone tools for discovery, and has also thoughtfully set up a washing area for safe play. The hill slide area features multiple pebble slides, climbing ropes, and climbing rocks, which are favorites among children.
