斬龍山遺址, Archaeological site in Tucheng District, Taiwan.
Zhanlong Mountain Archaeological Site (斬龍山遺址) is a prehistoric settlement on a hillside in Tucheng District, Taiwan. The area sits within a park and features uneven ground where ancient remains were found scattered across the terrain.
The site was first identified in 1955, when artifacts several thousand years old came to the surface. A relocation project in 2012 brought further discoveries, adding new layers to the understanding of this settlement.
The stone tools and fishing weights found here show that the people who lived on this hillside relied on both land and water for their daily needs. Objects like these are now kept in local collections and give visitors a direct sense of how life was organized in prehistoric times.
The site is accessible by public transport and lies within a park that has walking paths. The ground is uneven in parts, so sturdy footwear is a good idea before heading out to explore the area.
Among the objects uncovered here were fishing weights, which suggests the people living on this hill regularly fished in nearby waters. This makes the site one of the few in the region where evidence of both hunting and fishing activity has been found together.
