ANY trip to Jinguashi would not be complete without paying a visit to the Gold Ecological Museum.
Since it is located very closely to Jiufen, we made a quick detour.
The Gold Ecological Museum is divided into several sections. There's the Crown Prince Chalet (Tai Zi Bin Guan), gallery area, the gold museum itself, and the mining tunnel, just to mention a few.
We were greeted by Japanese-style architecture as soon as we passed the entrance. Those are actually the 4 joined Japanese residences. The furniture and utensils were preserved and restored for visitors to view.
The gallery, and some of the artifacts on display.
Old railway tracks.
Gold panning activity.
The highlight of the museum - Gold, gold and more gold at the Museum of Gold.
Souvenir shop.
A monument to miners.
Have I mentioned the wonderful fact that a lot of attractions in Taiwan actually are free or requires just a minimal entrance fee?
For the Gold Ecological Museum, entrance fees are only required for certain sections like the Benshan Fifth mining tunnel and gold panning activities.
How to go to the Gold Ecological Museum:
By taking MRT to Zhongxiao Fuxing Station. → take any Keelung Bus (bound for Jinguashi) to Jinguashi (Jinguashi).
Previous: Lunch at Keelung Miao Kou | Next: Jiufen
