ENG-Historical and Tourism Stories of Banqiao District, New Taipei City

Banqiao District in New Taipei City is presented not as a single-tradition location, but as a layered cosmological palimpsest shaped by various cultural eras. The narrative traces the evolution of the region from its indigenous roots and Han Chinese settler expansion to Japanese urban planning and postwar mainland refugee resettlement. Key historical focal points include the silting of Nanzai Port, the construction and subsequent demolition of the Fangqiao City Wall, and the establishment of Daguan Yixue as a diplomatic tool for ethnic reconciliation. Additionally, the text examines the Lin Ben Yuan Garden complex, which served both as an elite literati retreat featuring mountain sightlines and, later, as the improvised refugee settlement of Liuhou Village. Ultimately, the dossier reveals a recurring cycle of inter-communal rupture, architectural resolution, and curated historical erasure across three centuries of development.
