Rare surviving example of city gate
North Gate (Beimen in Chinese) was built in 1884, predating the Japanese colonial period (1895-1945). It gave access to Taipei City through the city walls, which were demolished in the early Japanese colonial period. The gate is a five-minute walk west of the Taipei Main Station. If you spend any time in the downtown area, you are almost certain to see North Gate. It is a rare surviving example of a blockhouse city gate, built in red brick. -

Historical gate
It is the only gate remaining of the five ancient Qing Dynasty city gates so there is a good amount of history. There are some explanatory plaques in this small park located in the median of 2 busy streets. It is worth a nice 15 minute visit if you are in the area, I wouldn't make a special trip. -

Something to see...
... with a small amount of information provided on monument-type displays on the sidewalk as to it's history and how the stone was quarried. You can't miss this; it is on a main thoroughfare quite close to Taipei Main Station. My only thought about the North Gate is that it is probably serves a good landmark and meeting point. Above average rating for the historical relevance. -

Last part of the wall
This is the last part of the wall left, I wouldn’t rush here but if you are close to central station it’s worth popping by -

A Tiny Remnant
If you are nearby then it is certainly worth a visit but not worth a trip across town. This is the only remaining part of the wall which once surrounded Taipei.
