The Shihsanhang Archeological Site is a culture existed 1800 to 500 years ago during the Iron Ages of Taiwan. According to scholars, they might have shared similar lineage to Ketagalan People of the plain aborigines. In 1998, the government commissioned the museum around the archeological site to preserve the ruins and educate visitors on the Shihsanhang culture. A “history sky-bridge” within the museum was built to offer space for special exhibits, and offers visitors an experience to the past to learn more about the Shihsanhang culture and its influence to Taiwan.
The museum, through various entertaining methods, details the sites’ importance of Shihsanhang culture discovery. It allows us to have a peek into what life was about a millennium ago. Periodically, there are exhibits on the history of Tamsui river. The special exhibits are more relaxed in nature, offers visitors abundance in knowledge and entertainment. It is the perfect way to inspire children’s interest in history.
