Guqifeng Gallery

Northern Taiwan


If you're in Hsinchu on a weekend, don't miss this fantastic collection of treasures, which includes a four-poster bed of pure jade, dragon boats made of ivory, and even a dinosaur carcass. The artefacts, collected over a 20-year period, are maintained by Pu Tian Temple, on the slopes of Guqifeng about 5km south of town. To get here, take a taxi from downtown (NT$250) or bus 20 from Zhongzheng Rd, near the train station.
