Tainan Shan-Shang Garden and Old Waterworks Museum, Historical waterworks museum in Xinzhuang Village, Taiwan.

The museum complex contains preserved water filtration equipment, including 14 British rapid sand filters and vertical electric motor units inside red brick buildings.

Built during Japanese rule, the facility served as Tainan's main water purification plant until 1982, when it was decommissioned due to insufficient capacity.

The museum honors Yashiro Hamano, who designed water systems across Taiwan between 1896 and 1919, establishing modern water infrastructure throughout the island.

The museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM except Wednesdays, with regular admission at NT$100 and reduced rates of NT$50 for students and seniors.

The water purification pond section houses a protected bat colony, limiting public access to specific periods throughout the year.
