One ticket gives you entry to National Taiwan Museum plus into a building across the street, called Land Bank of Taiwan Bank Museum. Despite the National Taiwan Museum appearing very old and grand inside and out, the only floor open to public was ultra modern in design. This museum covers the evolution of the architecture, history of various ethnic groups which inhabited Taiwan, their tools, geological history and of minerals, conservation, and bio diversity of animal life on this island. Land Bank of Taiwan covers the history of banking on this island and how it evolved, along with the legal system and land ownership. This building is old and just as grand as the one across the street in Peace Park. Within this second building, are taxidermied displays of the animals and birds of Taiwan. Taiwan has 684 species of birds, so they showed only some on a wall. More amazingly, there is a massive dinosaur bone display, even petrified dinosaur eggs. At one end, a lecturer was explaining things to a group in Mandarin. A coffee shop/restaurant is on top level and opens onto a nice garden area with tables & chairs. You can order meals here. I enjoyed the dinosaur display as I do not have one in my home city of Vancouver, Canada. It is a really impressive dinosaur display, not to be missed.

The replica of the Temple of Heaven adjoins the Botanical Gardens. Anyone who has visited Beijing will instantly recognize it. It is intended to be an architectural blending of East and West. It now serves a useful purpose.

This museum, located in the eponymous park, is worth a visit. It memorializes the events of 2-28-1947, when friction between native Taiwan residents and KMT troops led to violence and the deaths of many unarmed civilians. N.B.: Many of the exhibits have no English signage, but it's still worth the visit. The museum staff is very helpful, and it is possible for what is in English to understand this horrific event in the modern history of Taiwan.

The mission of Evergreen Maritime Museum is to preserve and present the history, art, and science of boats and ships, in the hope of generating public interest in maritime culture and in turn inspiring the pursuit of knowledge and the spirit of exploration.

There are not a lot of boats here, but they are interesting. The full-sized canoe, built by Taiwan's Aborigines, is outstanding, as is the Arab Dhow. Admiral Zheng He is China's most famous mariner, there's a model of his treasure ship. The Museum is adjacent to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. There's a cafe and a gift shop. The Museum is closed on Mondays.

The Museum was built during the Japanese colonial era (1895-1945). It has been renovated beautifully, it is well worth the small entry fee. At the moment there is a very impressive exhibition of Australian Aboriginal art on show. You learn a lot about Taiwan's people and fauna.
