Chiayi Art Museum

The former Chiayi Branch of Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation, a designated city historical site, has been transformed into an art museum.

Chiayi Art Museum (嘉義市立美術館), designed by Taiwanese architects Huang Ming-Wei (黃明威) and Wang Ming-Hsien (王銘顯) still retains the old building’s wooden structure.

With new features such as glass window incorporated into the renovation, the museum has become a must-visit building that blends the old and the new.

What’s more? You can also enjoy afternoon tea at the Chiayi J11 Gallery Café inside the building when you are tired.

Sleeping Forest Park

The park features various art installations designed by local illustrator SMART on the theme of “Sleeping Forest.” It is sitting right opposite the North Gate Station.

The park features a series of animal-themed art installations such as a white bear, pink elephants, foxes and penguins.

With these adorable installations, the park has become one of the must-visit #Instaworthy spots in Chiayi.

Chiayi Park

The century-old Chiayi Park features historical relics and unique buildings, such as the two monuments established in 1788 and in 1906, respectively.

Also, there is a sun hooting tower designed with the concept of the sacred trees of Alishan and the aboriginal sun shooting myth.

You can enjoy the city view from the top of the tower.
