Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology
【Shihsanhang Museum Guide｜North Bay Private Car Tour — Family-Friendly Cultural Day Trip】
Archaeological Site × Taiwan Prehistoric Culture × River-and-Sea Landscape
The Shihsanhang Museum in Bali District, New Taipei City, is Taiwan's first local museum dedicated to an archaeological site — and a key destination for exploring prehistoric culture, the Iron Age, and archaeological education. Its name comes from the Shihsanhang Cultural Site, where extensive finds of iron tools, pottery, and bone artifacts reveal the prosperous life of northern Taiwan roughly 1,800 years ago.
Designed by architect Kris Yao, the museum building blends modern minimalism with the Bali riverside setting — a cultural landmark for learning, exhibitions, leisure, and family-friendly interaction.
Highlights at Shihsanhang Museum
Permanent Exhibition: Shihsanhang Culture & Archaeological Discoveries

Children's Archaeology Zone × Family Interactive Space
The dedicated Children's Archaeology Hall lets kids learn through simulated digs and hands-on exhibits — archaeology made fun and accessible.
Outdoor Site Platform × Scenic Observation Tower
View the preserved archaeological zone up close, then climb the tower for sweeping views of the Tamsui River estuary — perfect for sightseeing and photography.

North Bay Private Car Tour can pick you up in Taipei and drop you at the museum entrance, then link nearby stops such as Bali Left Bank, Shihsanhang Cultural Park, and Bali Old Street into one seamless itinerary.
