Beimen Visitor Center (Beimen Wedding Photography Site) Introduction
Visitor Center Special Tour, Revealing the Coastal Scenery of Salt Fields The Beimen Visitor Center, managed by the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Coastal National Scenic Area Administration, is transformed from the southwest warehouse of the old Beimen Salt Washing Factory. The exterior still retains the factory's gable roof design. The exhibits inside are organized based on geographical divisions from north to south, showcasing the attractions of the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Coastal National Scenic Area, integrating local tourism resources such as "History of Salt Industry," "Wetland Ecology," "Religious Culture," "Local Industry," and "Literature and Art," with thematic areas and multimedia interactive sections. Inside the center, there are various multimedia exhibition areas for visitor interaction, and outside exhibits are equally impressive: ◎ Amateur Artist – Hong Tong's Art Wall: Mr. Hong Tong, an amateur artist from Beimen, has been dubbed the "Eastern Picasso." His works convey spirituality and a strong sense of energy, with delicate brushwork and intricate textures. His mysterious text paintings and richly colored styles continue to be highly praised. The administration uses his diverse, enchanting artworks to adorn the east-facing windows and west exterior walls of the visitor center, inviting you to appreciate them closely. ◎ The Return of the Sperm Whale to Beimen – Sperm Whale Specimen Area: The history of this sperm whale specimen is quite profound. On December 29, 2005, local residents of Beimen discovered a massive visitor (a male sperm whale measuring about 14 meters and weighing 50 tons) stranded at Wangye Harbor. Due to its enormous size and weight, it was initially buried on-site. In February 2008, with the support of the then Tainan County Government, the National Taiwan Museum, professional teams, and enthusiastic residents of Beimen, the sperm whale was excavated. After the specimen was prepared, it was exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum, later moved to the Tainan City Siaolang Cultural Park in 2009, and returned to the Beimen Visitor Center on December 4 of the same year, receiving a warm welcome from the local community.
