Hilltop Garden Watercourse Museum

The Hilltop Garden Watercourse Museum is a water infrastructure museum located in a garden setting in Shanshang District that spreads across a large area. It displays treatment facilities, ecological systems, and various water structures within an open, green environment.

The facility originally functioned as a water treatment plant and received protected monument status in 2005 for its role in Tainan's water supply. It was later transformed into a museum to preserve its importance in the city's development.

The museum shows how Taiwan's engineering practices evolved by presenting traditional and modern water management methods side by side. Visitors can see how people learned over the decades to use and protect water more wisely.

The grounds are best explored on foot and require comfortable shoes for the longer walks between different stations. There are multiple pathways and areas to move through, so allow enough time to see everything at your own pace.

The museum protects bat populations in dedicated spaces near the water filtration pools. This shows how the place combines wildlife conservation with historical preservation.
