From the 86 Freeway, the Chi Mei Museum resembles an opulent palace akin to Versailles, and for a moment, you might feel as if you're in the town of Versailles, the capital of Yvelines in southwestern Paris, France, visiting the world-famous cultural heritage site.

This European-style palace is located within the Tainan Metropolitan Park, covering an expansive area of 40 hectares, making it the third-largest urban park in Taiwan in terms of size. Due to its proximity to the Sanye Temple Creek and its low-lying terrain that easily retains water, the park employs landscape flood-control pond ecological engineering. This not only creates a natural scenic view for visitors but also serves a flood-prevention and water-retention function during heavy rains. Strolling leisurely along the scenic bridge and lakeside pathways, you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of shimmering waters.

The Tainan Metropolitan Park features well-planned cycling paths and pedestrian walkways, making it easy to enjoy the beautiful scenery. (Photo Provided/MOOK Editorial Team)
