Southern Branch of National Palace Museum/故宮南院

Southern Branch of National Palace Museum is near HSR Chai-yi Station, requiring only 10 minutes of drive.
故宮南院離嘉義高鐵站很近,開車只要十分鐘。

You can effortlessly get there by riding a bicycle from the HSR. Prior to it's establishment, the land was initially a sugarcane field owned by Taisugar. Sugarcanes used to be the most significant cash crop in Taiwan during the early days.
你從高鐵站能騎自行車也不費力。在建設故宮南院前,它原本是台糖土地,用來種植甘蔗。甘蔗是早期台灣最重要的經濟作物。

You can still see large fields of sugarcane on your way to the museum. After coming from HSR Chai-yi Station, go to HSR Blvd and then go to Gu-gong Blvd.
到博物館路上,現在還是可以看到大片的蔗園。從嘉義高鐵站出來,走高鐵大道,再轉故宮大道。

Shortly after you get on Gu-gong Blvd, you'll notice a large black building on the right side behind some woods. That's the Southern Branch of National Palace Museum.
上故宮大道沒多久,你會看到右邊樹林後方,一棟黑色大建築。那就是故宮南院。 54586e9594ea13e8d2780f8b7315e0ca

開車進去,你會看到南側停車場入口。在你右手邊。你也可以選擇從北側停車場進入。 3ab9710fb8135a655aa00d6fcddddc56

The museum park is quite large, occupying more than 70 hectares though the actual building only takes up 3.6 hectares, which is much smaller than the 6 hectares it was initially planned for.
故宮院區非常大,佔地70多公頃,雖然實際博物館主體面積只有3.6公頃,比原來規劃設計的6公頃少很多。

The building architecture takes inspiration from the Chinese Brush Paintings.
建築靈感來自中國水墨畫技法風格。 82c16b39f833dd5ca28333df2e189a61

The remaining 60 some hectares are designated as a parking area, landscape area and artificial lake. You can feel how spacious the entire park is by walking to the museum from either the north or south parking lot.
院區其餘60公頃設計做停車場,景觀園區和人工湖。你走路到博物館主體,不管從南側或北側停車場,都可以體會園區有多麼大。 143eb9ac3ce51e5243f952e99abc5d9c

They provide shuttle bus services to the museum at the entrance, but we recommend that you take the 15-to-20-minute walk to fully indulge in the scenic view of the artificial lake, and installations.
他們在入口有提供帶到博物館的接駁車,但我們建議利用這15到20分鐘的步行來好好欣賞一下湖面風光和裝置藝術。 6984dfe1b214db236693db6468b9b101
