Jiaxian Fossil Museum (Temporarily Closed) Introduction
Jiaxian District, located in the northeast of Kaohsiung City, is known for its abundant production of taro and bamboo shoots. Geologically, the entire area consists mainly of marine sedimentary rocks, with nine major fossil zones. Nearby, Nanzihsiankei offers a fossil paradise where visitors can directly experience the joy of fossil collection. This unique geological background has led to the establishment of the Jiaxian Fossil Museum. The museum mainly showcases ecological relics of fish and shellfish from the Taiwan inner sea, divided into four exhibition areas: Jiaxian Wengrong Snail Fossil Museum, local fossils from Jiaxian, fossils from various places in Taiwan categorized by age, and world fossils. The museum houses over six thousand items, making it a significant local professional museum with considerable academic and tourism value. For those who enjoy appreciating and researching fossil relics, the Jiaxian Fossil Museum is an unmissable destination.
