Taiwan Salt Museum Introduction
"The Taiwan Salt Museum has been closed for renovations since January 10, 2022." The Taiwan Salt Museum is the only theme museum in Taiwan dedicated to the salt industry, preserving the cultural assets of salt production that date back hundreds of years. "Salt" is a crystallization of the sweat and tears of salt workers, and its mound-like appearance is particularly distinctive, resembling two white pyramids standing in the salt fields from a distance. To the east of the museum is the Guangying Stalactite Museum, to the north lies the salt workers' residential area, and to the west are the abandoned mechanical salt fields, with the Qigu Salt Mountain visible in the distance. Upon entering the hall, visitors are first greeted by a replica of the scenic salt fields from back in the day, allowing one to return to the life situations of the salt fields in the 1950s and 1960s and experience the joys and hardships of the salt workers' lives. The second floor of the museum serves as a miniature history of the development of Taiwan's salt industry, featuring oral stories from local elders and salt workers, displays of yellowed old photographs, and various interesting uses of salt in daily life, making it perfect for children to explore. In addition to learning about salt knowledge, the museum also offers various salt products and salt coffee, which are flavors not to be missed!
