I said "Wow" the first time i saw the place.

The first time I went was via renting a car. I want to visit again with my Parents but through bus 8501 going to EDA Mall. How can I reach the museum coming from EDA Mall?

Thank Jeorge O

Not worth the trip from Kaohsiung

This place is sprawling, but kid of shallow as Buddhist monasteries go. The staff are incompetent, and the main viewing deck is not open outside of a Buddhist holidays, which is totally stupid.

Thank leaveyourdailyhell
