Ruifang District, Mining district in New Taipei City, Taiwan.

Ruifang District spans 70.73 square kilometers in eastern New Taipei City, featuring mountain ranges that meet the northeastern coast of Taiwan.

The area transformed from Zuihō Town during Japanese rule to an urban township in Taipei County after 1945, finally becoming a district of New Taipei City.

The thirty-four urban villages preserve traditions through mining heritage celebrations, local food specialties, and community gatherings at historical sites.

Visitors can reach Ruifang via Taiwan Railways from Taipei Station or take direct buses from Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station to main attractions.

The Shuinandong Smelter, known as the 13 Levels, stands as an industrial structure where copper and gold from Jinguashi mines were processed.
