Takao Railway Museum, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
4.0 (272 reviews) Monday: Spent < 1 hour Ranking #3 in Gushan Speciality Museums
Perfect location for tourists starting a visit of Kaohsiung
We stopped in Kaohsiung as a port of call on a Princess cruise last spring . We took a shuttle which brought us to the Takao Railway Museum . We went in the Museum for about 20 minutes and it was an interesting visit ! What was more interesting though was the fact that : 1) the Museum is right beside the starting point of the city bus sightseeing tour ($0.75) which runs every hour and provides a guided tour of the old part of town 2) the Metro Station is right beside the Museum and from there ,one can get very easily and cheaply to the center of town and see the Dome Light on the way 3) the Pier-2-Art Center is at the back of the Museum , some displays being common to both sights So this is why we say that it was the perfect location for starting our visit of Kaohsiung

Great place for railway fanatics
A great place for family, history buff and railway transport fanatics and conveniently located--just outside Kaohsiung MRT Xiziwan station, and Pier-2 Art Center within walking distance
