From the 86 Freeway, Chi Mei Museum resembles an opulent Versailles-style building, giving you a momentary illusion of being in the town of Versailles, the capital of France’s southwestern Île-de-France region near Paris, visiting the famous world cultural heritage.

This European-style palace is located within Tainan Metropolitan Park, covering an expansive area of 40 hectares, making it the third-largest urban park in Taiwan by area. Adjacent to the Sanye Temple Stream and situated in a low-lying area that easily collects water, the park employs an ecological landscape flood detention basin design. This not only creates a naturally scenic vista for visitors but also serves a flood control function during heavy rainfall. Strolling leisurely along the scenic bridge and lakeside pathways, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of shimmering lake waters.

Tainan Metropolitan Park features well-planned cycling paths and pedestrian walkways, perfect for enjoying the scenery. (Photo provided / MOOK Editorial Team)
