    A great place to visit for anyone who loves art and history. The museum houses thousands of fascinating artifacts, each accompanied by detailed explanations that make the experience even more enriching. It’s also very solo-traveller friendly—you can use the audio guide headset for clear, informative commentary without needing to join a tour group. A must-visit for culture enthusiasts!

    The building blends classical Eastern culture with Taiwanese characteristics. Its shape resembles a bamboo tree rising tall and strong, its strength and flexibility symbolizing the perpetual vitality of traditional Chinese architecture. The building's facades, inclined at a seven-degree angle, rise gradually upwards. Highly transparent, energy-saving, and heat-insulating curtain glass, which eliminates reflective light pollution, allows visitors to gaze at both the sky and the earth from within Taiwan's tallest building. High-tech materials and innovative lighting create a transparent and clear visual experience, integrating the building with nature and its surroundings on a grand scale.

    🌟 5 Stars – Yehliu Geopark: Rocks With Attitude! 🤣🪨🌊 🌟Booked through Trip.com and everything was super smooth, even smoother than my morning kopi kicking in. Yehliu is honestly one of the funniest and most beautiful places I’ve visited. The rocks here really act like celebrities — the Queen’s Head looks like she’s posing for a 10,000-year photoshoot 👑😂. Mushroom rocks, ginger rocks and all the quirky shapes kept us laughing nonstop.The sea breeze was like free natural aircon 🌬️ and the views were breathtaking. Super easy for kids and elderly; my mum even said, “This place I want to come again!” which is basically her 6-star rating. We took so many photos until my phone almost gave up on life 🤣. The whole place feels like nature’s comedy show mixed with a peaceful seaside walk. Perfect for families, couples, and anyone who just wants to enjoy good vibes, good wind, and good laughs. Totally worth the trip! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Taiwan, will enjoy 😄✨

    A museum in a very beautiful location and a building with a story. Carefully tells the story of the small island's vicissitudes of life, flowers, birds, fish and insects.
