Shimen District

It is part of the North Coast and Guanyinshan National Scenic Area and includes Taiwan's northernmost point, Cape Fugui.While known to earlier explorers, including the Dutch, the area was first explicitly mentioned in Chinese annals in 1694 as Shimenshan (石門山; 'Stone Gate Mountain').[1] During the period of Imperial Japanese rule, Shimen was called Sekimon Village (石門庄), and was governed under Tansui District of Taihoku Prefecture.The district itself is divided into nine villages: Shanxi (山溪里), Shimen (石門里), Laomei (老梅里), Jianlu (尖鹿里), Maolin (茂林里), Caoli (草里里), Qianhua/Cianhua (乾華里), Fuji (富基里), and Demao (德茂里).[1][3][4] Tourism is a major contributor to the economy of Shimen, which also produces a number of agricultural goods including mandarins, peanuts, and tea.
