Ershawan Fort
Ershawan Fort is also named "Haimen Tiansian" and is located on the top of Ershawan Mountain near the east harbor of Keelung. Following the traditional construction method to build city gate, the front door of the platform was built by stones along the mountain, which is very splendid. Above the gate is a tablet that shows "Haimen Tiansian," which means very dangerous gate to the ocean. The strategic value of the fort explains why it was chosen to be a military base during the Ching dynasty. Visitors can view Keelung Harbor from the fort to feel its significance. The trees along the footpath around the fort make it a great choice for forest therapy. Birds and insects might greet you when you are visiting the historic site. Today, it is a national historic site. The walls of the main entrance to the fort are made of stones laid using the technique traditionally used to build city gates in China. Over the arched doorway are the characters Hai Men Tian Xian. The gate, barracks, steps, gun platforms, ammunition store, and other structures still remain. The fort has great significance in national defense history. notice that roads are slippery when wet

LongPan Park
LongPan Park is located aside Jia-E highway on Hengchun Peninsula which is a coral limestone tableland close to Pacific Ocean. Since limestone has been washed by sea water over a long period of time, it has formed an adequate geology including cliff, penetration holes, notches, limestone caves and red soil and that is the most beautiful local coastline. Standing on the coast, you will see the cliff in tens of meters height different in front of your eyes. It is the grand landscape that nature carves. Since limestone is rock with several fracture surfaces, when sea water keeps eroding along joints, limestone is cut into several rock fragments in different sizes. After dragged by gravity from waves flapping, large rocks gradually collapsed and cliff has been formed

Lanyan Musuem
The museum was designed by Kris Yao to blend in with nature and inspired by local natural elements such as the cuesta, a rock-form commonly found along the northeast coast of Taiwan. At a distance, the building resembles a giant black rock (paying homage to Wushi Harbour, or black rock harbour), however up close the building is truly a unique design. As the Lanyang Plains are where the ocean meets the mountains and rivers in Yilan, the museum's exhibits show Yilan's development over time with regard to its special landscape.
Taipei LongShan Temple
The Long Shan Temple originated its name from the ancient Lungshan Temple established in Chin-chiang county of Fukien province in the seventh century. Immigrants from the three counties Chin-chiang, Nan-an and Hui-an of Fukien came to Manka in the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Chihkan Tower
Built by the Dutch in 1653,the Tower was once known as “Fort Provintia” and the Han People also called it ”Chihkan Tower” ,“Red Haired Tower.” The Tower’s walls, made of red bricks, are adhered by a specially designed cement mixture, made of sticky rice, sugared water and oyster shell cement; thereby, the Tower withstands time. When there are examinations, students often come here and pray Kuei Xin Ye,the god who guards students, for good grades. The pen held in Kuei Xin Ye’s hand was therefore often stolen. Now you can buy Kuei Xin Ye’s pen at the souvenir department and it is very popular.
