Zhanlongshan was named after the hill pierced by the Da’an Canal. In 1955, archeologists discovered the prehistoric cultural layers here. Then, during the construction of the MRT Blue Line and Tucheng Hospital, many artifacts were found in this area. Later, the place was turned into a designated municipal archaeological site, and combined with park facilities, became the lively Zhanlongshan Archeological Park.Zhanlongshan Archaeological Site is located in the southwest corner of the Taipei Basin, at the junction of rivers and hills. It has a history of 2,300-2,800 years and falls under the category of Yuanshan culture of the Neolithic Age. The cultural artifacts of the Zhanlongshan Archaeological Site consist mainly of grinding stones and cord-marked pottery, which are preserved in the Archaeological Park. Using the cord-marked pottery as design elements, several explanatory panels have been erected in the open area of the park, leading visitors to travel a thousand years into the past.
