National Museum of Prehistory is located at No. 1, Museum Road, Taitung City. It is a famous tourist attraction in Taiwan. Its opening hours are usually from 9:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Sunday, and it is closed on Mondays. You can check the museum’s announcement in advance before visiting.
Stepping into the museum, you will find the collection is so rich that it dazzles the eyes. There are nearly 1,600 stone slab coffins here, silently telling stories of the past. More than 20,000 unearthed prehistoric cultural relics such as stone tools, pottery and jade articles show the craftsmanship of that time. There are colored potteries from different cultural periods, such as those unearthed from the Nanguanlidong site in Tainan City in 2002, which are kept in the Southern Branch. There are also various paleontological fossil specimens, restoring the ancient ecology.
National Museum of Prehistory not only has a rich collection inside, but also has unique landscapes outside, among which the stone wall maze is a major highlight.
This stone wall maze is carefully built with stone bricks, and the height of the walls is higher than that of an average person. Walking in it, you feel as if you are in a mysterious world. To ensure the safety of visitors, anti-collision strips are thoughtfully installed on the edges of the walls, which can effectively prevent children from accidental bumps. The ground is paved with gravel, which greatly reduces the risk of slipping. Such a considerate design makes people feel warm.
Every angle of the maze has a unique view. No matter where you take photos, you can get different effects. No wonder some netizens call it a “mini version of the moving maze”. Moreover, at fixed times, the water spray device inside the maze will be turned on. For a moment, water flows out from all directions, instantly adding a sense of tension and excitement to the maze. If you don’t want to get wet, you have to concentrate, quickly plan your route and escape from the maze as soon as possible. This design, which combines fun and challenge, makes the stone wall maze one of the most popular check-in spots outside the museum. Both adults and children can have endless fun here.
