Houtong is located in Guangfu, Gongqiao and Houtong Sanli in Ruifang District, New Taipei City. In the past, coal mining was the main production activity. Surrounding characteristic attractions include the coal transportation bridge, Ruisan Mining Coal Preparation Plant, Jinzibei Ancient Trail, Sandiaoling Waterfall and Houtong Railway Station. Since the mining settlement in Houtong is still relatively complete and highly representative, in order to preserve the living history of Taiwan’s coal mine development, the New Taipei City Government spent five years and invested NT$200 million in planning and renovating relevant workshops and facilities in the mining area. The ‘Houtong Coal Mine Museum Park’ was established to reproduce the characteristic features of Houtong’s coal mine industrial ecological settlement, allowing tourists to return to the time and space of those years and deeply experience the years that Houtong has gone through. It can be called a new cultural attraction in northern Taiwan. Whether driving here or riding a bicycle, there are complete traffic routes and parking lots, which are worth savoring. Opening hours: Open from 8:00 to 18:00 all year round.
