Kaohsiung Day 2: Chi Mei Museum

Happy Chinese New Year!

I was thinking that I better get ahead and blog about our Taiwan trip before I (completely) forget about it.. Heh..

So second day at Kaohsiung, we went to the famous Chi Mei Museum (奇美博物館). It is an absolute must-go if you're in Kaoshiung! It had an impressive Western Art, musical instruments, weaponry and natural history collection on display (4,000 odd pieces!) and it is a privately owned museum too. The exterior of the museum is beautiful. The moment we exited our cab, we were blown away at how gorgeous everything was! We were greeted by a replica of the "fountain of Apollo's victory" from Chateau de Versailles near Paris, France and there is a bridge with Greek statues like Zeus and Poseidon leading up to the main entrance of the museum.

Tickers were 200 yuan which is around BND 10.

There is also a beautiful garden for you to stroll in after your visit.

They don't allow cameras inside so this is where my Chi Mei Museum photos stop! We stayed there for a couple of hours before hailing a taxi back. The taxi ride took around 45 minutes per way.
