Jiaxian Fossil Museum (Closed for Business) Introduction
Located in the northeastern part of Kaohsiung City, Jiasian District is not only famous for its production of taro and bamboo shoots but is also characterized by being predominantly composed of submarine sedimentary rocks, with nine major fossil zones throughout the area. The nearby Nanzi Xian River is a fossil paradise where visitors can directly experience the fun of fossil collecting. This unique geological background has led to the establishment of the Jiasian Fossil Museum. The museum mainly exhibits ecological relics of fish and shellfish from Taiwan's inland sea, divided into four display areas: the Jiasian Weng Rong Shell Fossil Museum, local fossils of Jiasian, fossils from various places in Taiwan categorized by age, and world fossils. With over 6,000 items in its collection, it has become a landmark professional museum with significant academic and tourism value. For those who enjoy appreciating and studying fossil relics, the Jiasian Fossil Museum is an unmissable attraction.
