My host took me here on a October Sunday , Whilst being rather sceptical it is actually a very gentle way of spending a few hours.
I learnt a lot about the significant of salt over the ages and the visitors centre whislt being slightly limited in depth is well done
Wouldn't go again but I am glad I have been

Never thought learning about salt could be fun, but this museum proved me wrong.
With an introduction to the history of salt, it's uses and many others, it was informative and engaging. It even has a little salt mining cave that mimics that of real caves.
One floor is dedicated to photo-taking, with beds, food, even bathrooms made entirely out of salt. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable (he worked in the salt farm when younger) and acted as our private tour guide even!
Check out the salt products at the end, then head over to the large salt field behind the museum. Visitors are encouraged to try out salt farming! It was a really enjoyable visit.

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.
