Introduce
Among the four gates of Hengchun Ancient Town, the North Gate is the quieter one, but it is also the longest one among the remaining city walls. Facing Mt. Hutou next to it, the scenery is very beautiful, and visitors can climb up to the city wall for a relaxing stroll and experience the beauty of Hengchun Old Town.
The North Gate used to be the main gate of Hengchun Ancient City, which was an official road in ancient times. The gateway of the North Gate is made of basalt rock, and the mottled colorful decorations show the traces of history.
