TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The blooming flower field at Tainan Shan-Shang Garden and Old Waterwork Museum makes the museum an ideal travel destination for the coming Lunar New Year, according to Tainan’s Cultural Affairs Bureau.
Tainan Bureau of Cultural Affairs Director Yeh Tse-shan (葉澤山) said Thursday (Jan. 28) that the waterwork museum has hit the 880,000-visitor mark after 15 months of being open, CNA reported. The museum’s century-old buildings as well as the spacious, elegant outdoor surroundings have attracted tourists from all over Taiwan, Yeh said, adding that the bureau continues to plant trees and flowers on the premises.
The museum sowed many cosmos seeds early last year, according to the director. This year, the flowers have already begun to bloom.
Colorful flowers, together with the venerable brick buildings, create a European-style landscape, he said. Yeh added that the museum has built several paths through the field to make it easier to take close-up photos.
