This museum is in 'Peace Park' (near Taipei Main Station) in a splendid Baroque and Renaissance style building. Opened in 1899, it was Taiwan's first museum and focuses on anthropology and the fauna and flora of the island.

This park is on the north side of Katagalan Boulevard and the MRT station 'National Taiwan University Hospital' on the Danshui line. The park was founded by the Japanese in 1907 as New Park (新公園). The name was changed in 1996 to commemorate those killed in the 228 Incident of 28 February 1947, in which locals revolting against Chinese rule were brutally massacred by the ruling Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek. The park is popular with practitioners of taichi and senior citizens playing Chinese chess. The National Taiwan Museum marks the northern entrance to the park.

Commemorates the 228 incident that occurred on February 28, 1947, in which locals revolting against Chinese rule were brutally massacred by the Kuomintang. This incident continues to be a key impetus behind the Taiwan independence movement to this day.

This former brewery has been transformed into a creative space in a park. The exhibitions are well presented and imaginative and the theater performances, while less formal than those at the National Theater, are first rate. The center also has a number of cool cafes - some with outdoor seating - an art movie theater and a number of shops selling innovative crafts.

What is now Huashan 1914 Creative Park opened in 1916 as Taihoku Winery during Japanese rule. It was privately owned winery that produced sake and ginseng wines, and bred moth orchids. The park as it is now was opened in 2005 and features a number of facilities for public use.
