Beimen Tourist Center (Beimen Wedding Photography Site) Introduction
The Beimen Visitor Center, located in the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Coastal National Scenic Area, features unique guided tours that reveal the coastal charm of the salt fields. It is renovated from the southwestern warehouse cluster of the old Beimen Salt Washing Factory, preserving the original factory's gable roof design. The exhibition is divided geographically from north to south to introduce the attractions of the Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Coastal National Scenic Area. It integrates tourism resources in the region, including "Salt Industry History," "Wetland Ecology," "Religion and Culture," "Local Industry," and "Literature and Art," planning themed areas for introductions and multimedia interactive zones. Inside the center, various multimedia display areas interact with visitors, while the outdoor displays are equally impressive: ◎ The Art Wall of Amateur Painter Hong Tong: Mr. Hong Tong, an amateur painter from Beimen, is known as the "Eastern Picasso." His works convey spirituality and a strong sense of spirit, with delicate strokes and intricate textures. His mysterious word paintings and rich color styles continue to be praised. The management uses his diverse and mysterious beautiful paintings to adorn the east-side doors and windows and the west-side outer walls of the visitor center, inviting you to appreciate them closely. ◎ The Sperm Whale Specimen Area "Old Man Returns to Beimen": The connection between this sperm whale specimen and Beimen is deep. On December 29, 2005, locals discovered this gigantic visitor (a male sperm whale, approximately 14 meters long and weighing 50 tons) stranded at Wangye Harbor. Due to its massive size, it was initially buried on-site. In February 2008, with support from the Tainan County Government, the National Taiwan Museum, and professional teams together with enthusiastic Beimen residents, the sperm whale was unearthed. After the specimen was made, it was exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum before being moved to the Tainan City Siao-Lang Cultural Park in 2009. On December 4 of that year, it was returned to the Beimen Visitor Center, receiving a warm welcome from the local residents.
