🚂 Takao Railway Museum – Taiwan’s Time Capsule for Train Lovers & History Buffs

#summervacay

Tucked away in Kaohsiung’s Gushan District, this century-old train station turned museum is one of the city’s most underrated gems.

Step inside and you’ll find restored railway equipment, Taiwan’s last surviving mechanical signal tower, vintage cargo halls, and stories from the Japanese colonial era to post-war Taiwan.

It’s peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for anyone who loves old architecture, trains, or quiet discoveries away from the crowds.

Bonus: It’s just a short walk from Pier-2 Art Center and totally free to enter!

📍 Takao Railway Museum, Gushan District, Kaohsiung
