The National Palace Museum in Taipei is an impressive museum housing an extensive collection of Chinese artifacts and artworks. Originally established as the Palace Museum in Beijing in 1925, it was later relocated to Taiwan during the Chinese Civil War. With over 700,000 pieces spanning 8,000 years of Chinese history, the museum offers a fascinating journey from the Neolithic age to modern times. The museum's expansive building has undergone multiple expansions over the years.
It's a must-visit for enthusiasts of Chinese history and culture. The museum ticket grants access to both the National Palace Museum in Taipei and Chiayi, where visitors can explore treasures dating back nearly 5,000 years. Highlights include renowned artifacts like the "Meat-Shaped Stone," "Jade Cabbage," and "Mao Gongding." The Chiayi National Palace Museum also boasts exquisite collections of porcelain, Buddhist scriptures, calligraphy, and paintings. While immersing oneself in the country's rich culture and history, visitors can also enjoy the museum's recreational areas, including artificial wetlands, tropical gardens, and a waterfront stage. A visit to this cultural treasure promises a rewarding and memorable experience.
