Beimen Sen Railroad Story Museum Introduction
The Taiwan Cake Beimen Sen Tie Story Museum, infused with historical anecdotes from Chiayi, was established to promote tourism in Chiayi city. One of its exclusive featured souvenirs is the Taiping Cake, which has a historical background related to the defense of the city during the Qing Dynasty. When food supplies ran out and there was no outside aid, the military and civilians crushed longan seeds to stave off hunger, hoping for peace, hence the name "Taiping Cake." The filling of Taiping Cake uses the famous smoked longan from Dongshan, Tainan, which has a plump fruit flesh and moderate sweetness, combined with California walnuts, blending both Eastern and Western ingredients. It has been recognized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs as one of the top 100 shops in the country and awarded the Outstanding National Environmental Education Award in Chiayi City, making it a highly representative intellectual tourism spot in the area. Recommended souvenir: Taiping Cake (Longan Walnut Pastry).
