The tomb of Guozonggu

The tomb of Guozonggu is a historical burial monument in northwestern New Taipei City with traditional Chinese architectural features and municipal heritage status. The site displays typical elements of burial monuments from this period and region.

The monument was built in 1776 during the Qing Dynasty and is considered an early example of regional memorial structures. It was erected during a period when such burial complexes served as important family commemorations throughout the region.

The burial site follows traditional Chinese design principles, with pathways and natural features arranged according to established feng shui guidelines.

The site is accessible by car via the National Freeway 1 or by public transportation including the Taipei MRT system combined with bus services. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes, as access involves walking and the ground may be uneven in places.

The site is located near the Shihsanhang archaeological site, where iron smelting took place in ancient times. This proximity reveals how historical family memorials were established in areas already meaningful for human activity.
