The Sanxing Museum is the first archaeological museum in Taiwan. It was originally built to protect the national second-grade cultural relic, the Sanxing Site. The Sanxing culture belongs to the Iron Age in northern Taiwan, dating back approximately 1,800 to 500 years ago, and is currently the only confirmed prehistoric residents in Taiwan who had iron smelting technology. The Sanxing Museum has permanent exhibitions displaying important artifacts excavated from the site, special exhibition halls, and an archaeological learning experience room, which provide detailed information about the Sanxing culture, Yuanshan culture, and other historical sites and backgrounds in Taiwan. More than a thousand years ago, the residents on the left bank of the Danshui River lived in stilt houses, used human-faced pottery jars, and their daily diet consisted of fish, shrimp, and shellfish from the sea. Their way of life is unimaginable for us today, but we can get a glimpse of it through the Sanxing Museum. In 1955, an Air Force aircraft passing over Bali experienced an abnormal compass reaction, leading to the discovery of the Sanxing Site. Then geologists and archaeologists came to investigate and found it was a prehistoric site, and thus established this archaeological museum. The museum introduces in an interesting way the Sanxing culture discovered from the site, letting us know what life was like for the Sanxing people thousands of years ago. It also regularly holds special exhibitions, sometimes introducing the historical development of the Danshui River, and sometimes featuring archaeological exploration with strong scientific education elements. No matter which kind of exhibition, the museum tries to make it light-hearted and fun, so that visitors can absorb rich knowledge while enjoying themselves, and also spark children's interest in history. After experiencing the abundant and fulfilling spiritual feast inside the museum, don't forget to give yourself some sensory enjoyment for the taste buds. "Sanxing's Coffee" offers rich and delicious coffee and an excellent view. If you don't want to stay indoors, the "Whaleback Dune" on the roof of the museum allows you to watch the sea, enjoy the sunset, and even look at the flickering lights of the fishing wharf across the river. It's a great feeling!
