[2025 Tainan Attraction] Travel Guide for National Museum of Taiwan Literature (Updated Apr)

'The New Glory: Old Photo Studio, Open for Business' is exhibited on the second floor of the Tainan Central and Western District Library. This building was originally the Tainan Prefecture Assembly Hall, a designated historic site. After restoration, it now stands with a simple and elegant three-story appearance, presented to the public. The 'New Glory Old Photo Studio' is one of the old photo studios in the Central and Western District with over 60 years of history. The permanent exhibition showcases the story of the photography development process. The old photo studio in Tainan's first historic library creates a nostalgic atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on visitors. The revival of the old store, with the words 'Open for Business,' touches everyone. The exhibition also recreates the photo studio's photography setup, including a bellows camera that you usually only see in movies, which is quite interesting. There is also a darkroom in the exhibition, clearly illustrating the steps of developing film, and you can even DIY experience it yourself. The exhibition is free to visit and is well worth a look.

#100 Ways to Travel The Tainan 400 series special exhibition, "Thousand Layers of Literature and Ancient Events: A Time-Travel Special Exhibition Starting from the 17th Century" is on display at the #TainanLiteraryMuseum. I accidentally discovered this while strolling around the TainanLiteraryMuseum. I originally just wanted to go in and enjoy the air-conditioning and walk around this beautiful historic building that was once the Tainan Prefecture Hall and City Government. Now that I'm here, I might as well go and take a look. The protagonist of this special exhibition is #郑经, the eldest son of the Zheng family in Taiwan in Jin Yong's novel The Deer and the Cauldron. I never expected that Zheng Jing in history had so many achievements! The special exhibition uses Tainan as the base of the story, showing the process of Taiwan entering the world stage. One of the important promoters, #Zheng Jing, used negotiation letters to achieve the goal of symbiosis with external forces such as the Netherlands and the Qing Empire. After all, it is in the Literature Museum, and the special exhibition is a relatively static cultural relic exhibition. There are quite a few key cultural relics preserved from the Dutch and Qing dynasties. It’s nice to take a quick look and take a few photos.

#travelinginchina #tainan Before you even step inside the National Museum of Taiwan Literature, take a moment to admire the breathtaking exterior. This Baroque-style masterpiece, built in 1916 during Japanese rule, looks like something straight out of a European postcard—but with a Taiwanese twist. Red brick, elegant columns, and intricate details make it one of Tainan’s most stunning landmarks. Standing in front of it, you can almost imagine the history it has witnessed—from its days as a government building to its transformation into a literary haven. The arched windows and grand entrance give it a regal feel, perfect for a museum dedicated to the power of words. Now, here’s a fun historical side note: Vikings, some of the earliest storytellers, built their own grand halls where sagas were passed down through generations. While their structures were wooden and built for warriors, this museum is a hall for writers and poets—both preserving the past in their own way. Why Stop and Look? 🏛 A stunning piece of history – One of Tainan’s most beautiful buildings. 📸 Perfect photo spot – You’ll want to capture every angle. 📖 A fitting home for literature – A building as grand as the stories inside.

The National Museum of Taiwan Literature was formerly the Tainan Prefecture Hall during the Japanese colonial period. It was built in 1916 and has now been transformed into a temple of Taiwanese literature. Its architectural style combines the design elements of the European Renaissance and Japanese architectural features. It stands next to the roundabout of Tang Dezhang Memorial Park in the city center and is very eye-catching! There are various literature-related exhibitions in the Museum of Literature, but they change at different times, so I won’t give a detailed introduction here. Before you go, you can check the official website of the National Museum of Taiwan Literature. But even if you are not interested in literature, it is worth going to appreciate this building and take some photos! 📍National Museum of Taiwan Literature Address: No. 1, Zhongzheng Road, West Central District, Tainan City Business hours: 09:00-18:00 (closed on Mondays) Transportation: About 15 minutes walk from Tainan Railway Station #GlobalTravel #Tainan #TaiwanLocalTour #Taiwan

It's a beautiful building on a rotary, and admission is free. It's on the way to Hayashi Department Store in hot Tainan, so it's a great place to stop by for a break. However, bringing in food and drinks is prohibited. There are many beautiful exhibits, from Taiwanese literary works to Japanese items. It's quite large, so it's well worth seeing. During the Japanese colonial period, it was the Tainan Government Office building, and later the administrative organization for Tainan Prefecture, as well as the Tainan City Hall as a prefecture-controlled city. It later became the National Museum of Taiwanese Literature in 2003. #Tainan #NationalMuseumofTaiwaneseLiterature #IStartedMoments

#Taiwan Attractions Tainan is located in the southern part of Taiwan and is the earliest developed area in Taiwan, so many buildings built during the Qing Dynasty are still preserved there, such as the Old Fucheng and the Old Governor's Mansion. This time I went to the National Taiwan Literature Museum, which adopts Western and Japanese architectural techniques, with red brick walls and round arched buildings, which is very elegant. The interior has been changed to modern architecture, but still sees the thought of integrating the old and new. If you have the chance to travel to Fucheng, you might as well go there!
