Former Tainan Weather Observatory, Weather station and national monument in West Central District, Taiwan
The Former Tainan Weather Observatory consists of three concentric circles topped by a tower containing meteorological instruments for atmospheric measurements.
The observatory began operations in 1897 during Japanese rule and served as a central facility for weather monitoring until its conversion into a museum.
The building represents early meteorological practices in Taiwan and maintains exhibits about weather observation techniques through different historical periods.
Visitors can reach the observatory by taking a short walk from Tainan Station, with the facility reopening to the public in March 2019.
The circular structure contains original weather monitoring equipment at the top of its tower, demonstrating early twentieth-century meteorological technology.
