The first free trip around Taiwan in 2012 to Kaohsiung Qijin Shell Hall Qijin although it is a must-visit attraction to Kaohsiung, but like us can waste a whole day on the island, you may encounter such a small so-called museum. In fact, this shell museum is on the second floor of the visitor center of Qijin Marine Park. The tickets are also very cheap. Remember that it may only cost NT$ 20 or 30, but the layout and exhibition line of the entire shell museum are still very reasonable. This is also Taiwan. It is better at it, although the whole is relatively old. But the sparrow is small and well-equipped, and has everything it should. When we went, there was a special exhibition "The Truth of Inconvenience", mainly to promote the relationship between environmental protection and the sea, to advertise the art exhibition of new environmentalism, with various static mannequins and devices, with some environmental protection elements, metaphors used to warn humans of randomness and do it. The truth of the inconvenience in the future. Although the exhibition is a bit simple in terms of overall feeling, isn't the significance of this exhibition just to promote environmental protection and practicality?

Beautiful place here with breath taking sea view as you’re taking insta worthy pictures!

There is no food inside, but the water toilet can be connected to the entrance. There is a window at the door to see the outside scenery, a great scenery. The shells inside are so varied, I only know that the shells are very rich, and I dare not collect them and take them away, because it may be alive.
