Ingressos para o Ramo Sul do Museu Nacional do Palácio de Taiwan em Chiayi (Ramo Sul do Museu do Palácio)

The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum tickets are valid immediately upon purchase, which is very convenient. You can simply enter the exhibition halls using a QR code, and the outdoor park area is free. The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum is located in Taibao City, a certain distance from Chiayi City (but close to Chiayi HSR Station). However, the museum offers free shuttle buses to and from Chiayi HSR Station, or you can take the free BRT 7212 bus directly to the Chiayi City Transfer Station (which is the Chiayi City Train Station (rear exit)), making it very convenient. The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum boasts a rich collection and diverse themes, making it well worth a visit.

It's still not too late to buy tickets at the door! If you see a long queue, this is a lifesaver that can immediately save you time. The only downside is that there's no physical ticket to collect! The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum has a vast area, and in fact, even the free exhibition halls on the first floor have many things worth seeing, including overlaid maps of Chiayi from various eras. I particularly like the curator's style, so I've visited three or four times. Each time, I only had half a day and felt rushed. This last time, I finally had the chance to explore for a whole day and felt incredibly satisfied~

The Southern Branch is a modern architectural design that echoes the beautiful Zhimei Bridge next to it. It is said that grand scenic views can often be captured in the evening, leaving a reason to revisit in the future. Exhibitions such as the popular National Treasures and the East Asian Tea Culture Exhibition kept me engrossed for a long time. Next, the "Mythical Beasts Revealed - Fantastic Creatures in Artifacts" special exhibition on the first floor captivated me. While admiring the adorable mythical beasts, I also became curious about their history. Through searching, I gained a deeper understanding of the cultural background and customs of that time. My favorite exhibits this time, such as the Xi Zun, Ganesha, and Wind Lion God, are all charming mythical creatures 😆

Purchase online to avoid queues; simply scan the QR code for entry, no need to print physical tickets. The Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum boasts expansive grounds, and a stroll through the gardens on a fine day is very pleasant. On weekdays, the crowds are sparse, making for an excellent exhibition viewing experience. In addition to the permanent exhibitions, the Edo Ukiyo-e Special Exhibition from May 30 to August 31, 2025, is also wonderful. The museum also features a children's center, which is great for kids. Highly recommended.

I came to see the lantern festival and visited the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum. It's my first time here, and I was surprised to find the Jadeite Cabbage on display.

Buying tickets for the Southern Branch of the National Palace Museum on Klook is incredibly convenient! You can enter by scanning the QR code with your e-ticket, saving you the hassle of queuing to buy tickets on-site. The museum building is magnificent, and the exhibitions are wonderfully rich and diverse, with the special exhibition on Asian artifacts being particularly impressive. The park environment is serene and the scenery is pleasant, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll. The overall experience was great, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Edo Ukiyo-e / Tea Culture / Ming Dynasty Exhibits / Textile Exhibition / Imperial Seal / Accessories – the exhibitions are incredibly rich and diverse, featuring various creative interactive games and rubbings. The space is large and comfortable to walk through, with excellent indoor lighting. The staff are enthusiastic and helpful, and there are many rest areas. Food is available both inside and outside the museum. The only drawback was the large crowds during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, which affected the quality of the visit. I look forward to the next special exhibition.

It's good to walk around slowly to explore and understand the different exhibitions. It's a pity the lift broke down after a while at the start of the morning. Overall, it's good to go if you like historical things and have a day's time.
