A hexagonal three-storey brick incinerator standing on the embankment above the former Dada Port (達達港), built around 1930, shortly after completion of the irrigation weir and sluice gate that reshaped this stretch of the Longjing River (龍頸溪). Local residents also know it as Guanyin Pavilion (觀音亭), a name reflecting its unusual arrangement of Guanyin on the upper level and Bogong (伯公), the Hakka name for Tudigong, on the middle level, above the furnace where paper bearing written characters was burned. It was registered as a historic building in 2017 and restored the following year, though the structure now leans to one side as a result of ground subsidence.
