Jiaxian Fossil Museum (Closed for Business) Introduction
Located in the northeast of Kaohsiung City, Jiaxian District is known for its production of taro and bamboo shoots. Geologically, the entire area is primarily composed of marine sedimentary rocks, with nine major fossil sites. Nearby, the Nanzixian River serves as a fossil paradise where visitors can directly experience the fun of collecting fossils. This unique geological background has also led to the establishment of the Jiaxian Fossil Museum. The museum primarily exhibits the ecological relics of fish and shellfish from the Taiwan inland sea, divided into four display areas: Jiaxian Wengrong Shell Fossil Museum, local fossils from Jiaxian, fossils from various regions of Taiwan categorized by age, and worldwide fossils. With a collection of over 6,000 pieces, it has become a landmark professional museum with significant academic and tourism value. For those who love to appreciate and study fossil relics, the Jiaxian Fossil Museum is a must-visit destination.
