Beimen Sen Railway Story Museum Introduction
The Beimen Sen-Tieh Story House, which encapsulates the historical anecdotes of Chiayi, was established to promote tourism in Chiayi City. The exclusive featured souvenir in the museum - Taicheng Tai Ping Cake - is rooted in the historical events of the Qing Dynasty's defense of Chiayi. When supplies ran low and there was no external aid, soldiers and civilians crushed longan seeds to stave off hunger, hoping for a peaceful resolution, hence the name “Tai Ping Cake.” The filling of Taicheng Tai Ping Cake uses the famous smoked longan from Tainan's Dongshan, which has a plump and moderately sweet fruit, complemented by California walnuts, blending Eastern and Western ingredients. It has been recognized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs as one of the top 100 business district stores in the nation and received an Excellence Award from the Chiayi City National Environmental Education Award, making it a prominent cultural and intellectual attraction in the area.
