Zhanlong Mountain gets its name from the hill pierced by the Daan Channel. In 1955, archaeologists discovered prehistorical cultural layers here. In recent years, with the construction of the Ban-Nan Line of the MRT and the Tucheng Hospital, numerous ancient artifacts have been excavated around Zhanlong Mountain, which has subsequently been designated as a municipal archaeological site and transformed into a lively Zhanlong Mountain Relics Cultural Park that incorporates park facilities. The Zhanlong Mountain archaeological site, dating back 2,800 to 2,300 years in the New Stone Age, is located at the southwestern corner of the Taipei Basin, at a high ground at the confluence of rivers and hills, belonging to the Yuanshan Culture type of the Neolithic period. The artifacts of the Zhanlong Mountain site mainly consist of polished stone tools and decorated pottery, preserved on-site within the park. Design elements featuring the patterns on the pottery have been utilized to erect several explanatory panels in the open areas of the park, guiding visitors through thousands of years of history. For family fun, the Zhanlong Mountain Relics Cultural Park has planned a simulated archaeological excavation sandbox area, filled with replicas of prehistoric pottery shards and stone tools waiting to be discovered. There is also a washing area for parents’ peace of mind while their children play. The hillside slide area features multiple stone slides, climbing ropes, and climbing rocks, which are favorites among children.
