Guosing Township
Jioufenershan
Jioufenershan,located at Nangang Village of Guosiing Hsiang, was the most concentrated vibration core of the nationwide-astonishing 921 Earthquake.
The gas explosion caused the folding and faulting of land to a great extent.
As a result, there were two barrier lakes formed, and visitors could observe how serious the folding and faulting of land were. The soil burial covers an area of 200 hectares. The Twin Mountains were also planned as a memorial spot of the 921 Earthquake.
Beigang River Stone Bridge (Glutinous Rice Bridge)
The construction of the bridge, also called Nuomi Bridge, has a very special historical value.
Established in the period of Ching Dynasty, the bridge was listed as a historic site of the third ranked. Adopting the ancient skills, the ancient people used brown sugar, castor-oil plant and glutinous rice as the cement, sticking the hard rocks to form solid columns. If you come over to Guosiing Village, don’t miss the encounter with this special bridge.
