Shimen District, Administrative district in northern New Taipei City, Taiwan
Located along the northern coast of Taiwan, Shimen District features mountainous landscapes, coastal areas, and agricultural lands stretching toward the East China Sea.
The district, first recorded in 1694 as Shimenshan, transformed from a Japanese-ruled village to a rural township after 1945, becoming part of New Taipei City in 2010.
Nine villages within Shimen District maintain traditional practices through local temples, markets, and yearly festivals celebrating regional customs and community life.
Provincial Highway 2 connects visitors to all major locations in Shimen District, with regular bus services operating between the district and New Taipei City center.
At Cape Fugui, the northernmost point of Taiwan, stands the Fuguijiao Lighthouse, guiding maritime traffic through the Taiwan Strait since its construction.
