This museum not only show case Taiwan but also salt from other countries. Interesting to know about the history of salt. Sad that it is no longer in use and Taiwan have salt imported now. There are also sculptures made from salt. You can try your hands at salt farming as there is a field beside the museum. Not far away is the chigu salt field for a half day family fun

The museum provides a very informative exhibit about the history of salt in Taiwan. I was actually not very enthusiastic since salt doesn't interest me, but after going through the museum I realized how interesting the history of salt could be! Recommended for traveler to hire a private car with a driver (not very expensive!) for 8 hours to tour Tainan attractions as it'll save lots of time and effort trying to get from one spot to another, the drivers I have met in Taiwan are very friendly and tell you lots about the place from a local point of view which is really enriching.

The Museum is just a few minutes' drive from the habitat of the protected black-faced spoonbills, Qigu Salt Mountain and Lagoon. Two storeys of exhibits all focused on 'salt' - salt making history and people/stories related to salt. Nearly all the exhibits are two-dimensional, either in text or in the form of dummies. The scope of the exhibits, however, is not restricted to Taiwan only. Among all exhibits I found the exhibits of the three-dimensional Polish Salt Mine interesting (triggered off my horror of claustrophobia). Near the exit is a cafe and a souvenir shop which sells a wide range of salt products such as body scrub, shower gel and snacks.
Generally speaking, the subject is quite restrictive and the exhibits not too attractive for the general public (my kids found them boring and the visit lasted for only 30 minutes). The presentation is not interactive and old-fashioned. The medium of language is in Chinese and hence mainly cater for locals. Can serve as a good eatery outlet for the trip to the Qigu cluster of attractions (as there are no proper restaurants nearby).
