Wandering Fel

The name of the museum is kinda long. So I decided to call it "Bu-Cheng-Shih" Museum in this post.

It is formerly an administration building and residence of the former provincial governor during the Qing Dynasty. The building is used to be way bigger than the size it is now. And it is used to stand in the very center of Taipei historically. There is a display showing historical information of the place just after you pass through the main gate. But, yeah, it's all in Mandarin. U_U.

Since my Mandarin level is not sufficient enough at the moment, I left the reading part to my friend and ended up taking picture of the inside. XD

After walking for a while, we arrived at the main hall. Nothing much to see here.

There are some artifacts from the olden days which are displayed in the next rooms. Based on the scenes from the TV located just beside the artifact, we think that they are parts of the roof. 

There is no admission fee charged for the entry to this museum. So if you happen to walk around Taipei Botanical Garden, you may want to check out this museum. It probably will only take a while as the museum itself is not very big to begin with. =)

The garden is located pretty near to the MRT (around 5 minutes walk) and if you are not sure about the direction, you can check the map inside the MRT station. You will see the big sign at the entrance gate. 

The garden is pretty big and it's so nice to be surrounded by greens. The garden was deserted during the World War II. After the war, the garden was rearranged and a huge variety of plants were planted. 

There is a greenhouse at the center of the garden although it's closed during the winter time. =(

Beautiful view inside the garden. 

Small bamboo trees. 

The garden is open from 4 AM to 10 PM daily. If you decide to visit the garden, I suppose it will a nice walk surrounded by greens. Alternatively, you can also visit Taipei Hakka Cultural Park near Taipower Building MRT Station.
