Taijiang Bird Ecological Center, Bird ecology museum in Tainan, Taiwan.
The Taijiang Bird Ecological Center is a museum housed in a former salt facility with observation areas and telescopes for studying bird species in wetland habitats. The facility offers exhibits about local and migratory birds and their environments in the Tainan region.
The building was originally a salt production site from Taiwan's early industrial period and was later converted into an ecological research center. This transformation reflects Taiwan's shift from industrial operations to conservation.
The center shows how wetlands matter to people in the region, especially for protecting bird habitats. Visitors experience the everyday connection between local communities and the natural world here.
Visitors should bring binoculars or cameras with telephoto lenses to observe birds at a distance. Early morning is the best time for bird watching when they are most active.
The center runs monitoring stations that track bird migration patterns across seasons and contribute to international studies of flight routes across Asia and the Pacific. This research shows how critical wetlands are to Taiwan's role in global bird migration.
