The North Gate is the only Southern style construction gate in the gate of the Ching Dynasty in Taipei. The roof, ridge, sloping ridge and roof tile are important elements of the enamel style. The North Gate is called Cheng Enmen. It was said that it was because of towards Beijing and accepting the meaning of Emperor’s grace. In comparison with the other East Gate, South Gate and minor South Gate of Taipei, had been rebuilt by the Kuomintang government and put on the party emblem, The North Gate was able to maintain its original appearance and be included in the national monuments. The report stated that "the two doors in the gate of the city gate are extremely precious." The two doors of all the gates in Taiwan are gone, but the two gates in the north gate are still there, and they are iron. It is a pity that today's visit found that the two doors were actually nailed with iron, and they could not be corroded and could not see the maintenance of the municipal government. The north wall of the city wall stone comes from Beitou's bank rock, Neihu Jinmian Mountain Anshan Rock and Bali Liyin Mountain Rock. Later, the city wall stone was removed from the Taipei Detention Center during the Japanese occupation.

This week's sunset in Taipei will have a beautiful view of the sunset. Watching the North Gate is a beautiful choice. From Taipei station , North Gate MRT and Ximen MRT to this attraction point are...

Exploring the historic Taipei North Gate (ChengEn Gate) in Zhongzheng District, Taipei City.

Built during the Qing Dynasty in 1884, this gate stands as a symbol of Taiwan’s rich history and cultural heritage.

Originally constructed to protect the city, it now serves as a beautiful reminder of the past amidst the bustling modern city.

Watching the North Gate is a beautiful choice. From Taipei station , North Gate MRT and Ximen MRT to this attraction point are recommended. 北門為清國台北城門中唯一具有閩南原貌的城門,屋頂、屋脊、垂脊及屋瓦為閩式風格重要元素。北門稱之為承恩門,據傳是因為遙望北京,承受皇恩的意思。與台北其他東門、西門、南門及小南門曾被國民黨政府改建,放上黨徽,北門得以保持原貌,列入國定古蹟。報載「城門洞裡那兩扇門極其珍貴」,台灣所有城門的那兩扇門都不見了,唯獨北門那兩扇還在,且是鐵的。可惜今天的拜訪,發現這兩扇門其實是木頭釘著鐵板,腐蝕到不行,看不到市政府的維護。北門的城牆石,分別來自北投唭哩岸岩、內湖金面山安山岩和八里觀音山石,後來城牆石在日治時代被移去蓋台北看守所。 這一星期台北的夕陽,將出現懸日美景,觀賞北門懸日是一個美麗的選擇。從北車、北門、西門到這一個景點都是推薦的。

"Beimen (North Gate), an historic ancient city gate with Minnan style architecture of the Qing dynasty remaining in Taipei, and is also one of the historical relics. precious nationally designated history in Taipei. The geographical position of the North Gate is extremely important, in the Qing dynasty it was the main road to Dai Daocheng, now the central landmark of the ""Western area"" of the old Taipei citadel. The North Gate located right beside Taipei Main Station which attracts many enthusiastic art students to come and training their drawing or photography skills. Nearby is a famous “Taipei ‘s camera street” and only 15 minutes walking to Ximending area which is super good for tourist to explore. "
