The area is specifically situated within the jurisdiction of Yongguan Village in the Sanxia administrative district.
The region acts as part of the upstream catchment area that feeds into the Sanxia River system.
Yuan Shan serves as a habitat for secondary forest vegetation typical of Taiwan's low-altitude mountain zones.
Yuan Shan in the Sanxia District of New Taipei City is a rural landscape encompassing sixteen distinct villages integrated with a community park. This area serves as a transition zone between the urban density of New Taipei City and the rugged foothills of the central mountain ranges. The topography is defined by rolling terrain and traditional agricultural plots that maintain local rural practices. Its location within the Sanxia periphery provides a buffer for biodiversity and watershed protection. The park facilities within the zone are managed to support both residents and visitors seeking proximity to suburban greenery.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain in rural village zones can be uneven.
Bring sufficient drinking water and insect repellent, as facilities can be sparse between village centers.
Respect private agricultural property and avoid walking through marked crop fields.
Do not attempt to traverse deep mountain paths without local guides or proper GPS equipment, as signposting can be minimal.
Dress modestly as this is a functional rural area; maintain quiet volume to respect local residents.
