Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology, Archaeological museum in Bali District, Taiwan

The Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology exhibits ancient artifacts, pottery, tools, and cultural relics discovered during excavations in the surrounding New Taipei City region.

Established in 2003, the museum preserves findings from the Shihsanhang archaeological site, which dates back 1,800 years to the Iron Age period.

The museum displays over 300 skeletons buried in fetal positions, reflecting the burial customs and traditions of the ancient Shihsanhang community.

Visitors can reach the museum by taking the MRT to Guandu Station and transferring to the Tamsui Bus Red 13, which stops directly at the entrance.

The Shihsanhang site represents one of only two prehistoric communities in Taiwan that possessed iron smelting capabilities, enabling extensive trade across the island.
