The Shuinan Dong Thirteen-Story Site is an indelible memory of Taiwan's copper smelting history. The mine site has significant universal value. Although the functions of the mine have disappeared after its closure, the functions of the nearby mining communities continue to operate. If properly organized and preserved, similar to the Iwami Silver Mine in Japan, which was the first site in East Asia to be registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site under the "Industrial Heritage" category, the mining relics of the Shuijinjiu area highly meet the expectations of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for World Cultural Heritage. Especially, the Shuinan Dong area has four world-famous attractions: the Yin-Yang Sea, the Shuinan Dong Ore Processing Plant, the waste smoke duct, and the Golden Waterfall. The environmental features they present are both historically meaningful and emotionally rich in humanistic space, and they are also rich in the riverside and mountain landscapes that blend with the natural scenery, combining riverside and mountain scenery as the characteristics of the environmental landscape. The Performance Art Gallery was originally an old auditorium of Taipower, and it has been renovated into a single-story red-brick building with high ceilings, designated for use as a "Performance Art Gallery."

The "Performance Art Gallery," after completion of the renovation, will be regularly open for art exhibitions. It is currently occupied by the "Shan Cheng Art Museum" art team, and often holds group exhibitions of artists, tea seating experiences, artists' creation spaces, and performance practice spaces for the "No One Drum" performance.

The idea of "Shan Cheng Art Museum" was a coincidence and an accident, but also an extension of the ideas of several artists. Visiting Jinwan Stone and Shuinan Dong should not just be a superficial sightseeing tour; it can be a life experience and a sharing of humanistic values. The birth of "Shan Cheng Art Museum" is the beginning of the re-emergence of the new appearance of the Golden Mountain city after twenty years of decline, and it is also a joyous event for the local artists.
