Chuhuangkeng in Gongguan, Miaoli, is the location of the first oil well in Asia and a pioneer in the development of the world's oil fields. The Miaoli County Government registered it as a Cultural Landscape in 2008. In recent years, in alignment with the promotion of the Ministry of Culture's "Regeneration of Mining Historic Sites Project," the physical and conceptual developments—including settlement environment preparation and historical building restoration—have been completed, and subsequent space revitalization has progressively fallen into place.
Currently, the "Taiwan Oil Field Exhibition Hall" in Beiliao introduces the historical context and industrial characteristics of Chuhuangkeng. Stepping outdoors, visitors can explore areas such as the funicular railway, the settlement architectural complex, and walking trails. The surrounding area is rich in ecological resources, allowing the public to experience stories of different eras amidst the industrial landscape and old oil well facilities. Meanwhile, connecting to Dahu and Shitan via Provincial Highway 72, it shapes a new highlight of Miaoli's industrial charm.
