The Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology, located near the site of the Shihsanhang culture (1800–500 BCE), displays pottery, tools, and burial objects excavated from the area. The museum's architecture is inspired by an archaeological site, with a tilted green roof and open spaces. Visitors can see reconstructed dwellings, touch artifacts, and learn about ancient trade networks. A highlight is the outdoor viewing platform overlooking the Tamsui River and the original excavation site.
