Tapengkeng Archaeological Site
Tapenkeng Archaeological Site is located at the foot of Guanyin Mountain on the northwest side in Bali District, New Taipei City, and was named after the Tapenkeng Culture of Taiwan’s early Neolithic Period. From the prehistoric to modern periods, it has a cultural context of over 6,000 years, leading to the confirmation of the sequence of the prehistoric culture layers of north Taiwan and speculation that Tapenkeng Culture was the ancestral form culture of Austronesian peoples. Although the environment was affected by contemporary activities such as burial, fruit growing and dry land cultivation after being discovered in 1958, there was no large-scale development on the site. At present, the preservation situation is quite good.
