The Chimei Museum
i think it’s smart to plan at least 3 hours for your visit. there’s so much to see and trust me you don’t wanna rush through it. i was exhausted after 2 hours but still wished to see more!
My advice is to grab a museum guide at the entrance. It’s super helpful in navigating the exhibits. I kinda just wandered around, and I felt I missed out on some cool info.
I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. It's way less crowded, and you can soak in all the art peacefully. Weekends can be a bit chaotic, to be honest
The Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum
My advice is to wear comfy shoes! You’ll be doing a lot of walking around the museum and the surrounding areas, so trust me, a solid pair of sneakers is a must.
I recommend bringing some snacks and water. While the food options are decent, they can get a bit pricey, and you'll want some energy while exploring.
The National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium
Skip the souvenir shop unless you really want something special. I found the prices a bit steep and I didn't see much that caught my eye.
The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum
The National Science and Technology Museum
I recommend getting there by 10 AM to avoid the crowds. When I went, the later it got, the busier it became, making it harder to enjoy the exhibits!
Make sure to wear comfy shoes! The museum is big, and I underestimated the walking. By the end of the day, my feet were killing me!
The National Museum of Taiwan History
If you're on a budget, don't miss their discount days! I think I saved a good amount by going on a Wednesday. Just double-check the schedule before you go, so you don't miss out.
My advice is to plan at least 2-3 hours for your visit. There's so much to see, and I found myself rushing through some exhibits. It would've been better to take my time and really absorb the history with leisurely breaks in between.
I highly recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. The crowds on weekends can get a bit overwhelming, and you’ll have more space to enjoy the exhibits. Plus, it felt more peaceful walking through the museum without all the hustle.
The National Museum of Taiwan Literature
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
I think it's worth checking if they have any temporary exhibitions. I stumbled upon one during my visit that was super interesting and added a bonus to my experience!
I recommend visiting on a weekday around 10 AM to avoid crowds. You can really enjoy the art without feeling rushed and get some nice quiet moments.
Check out the nearby park. It's a great spot to chill after exploring the museum. I thought it was a perfect way to unwind and catch a breath.
