Chung Li-ho Museum, Literary museum at Mount Jianshan base in Meinong District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
The Chung Li-ho Museum is a two-story building at the base of Mount Jianshan in Meinong, designed with traditional Taiwanese architectural details. It houses collections of writings and materials from authors who shaped the region's literary history.
The museum was established in 1983 when residents came together to preserve and honor the cultural heritage of local authors. It was among the first institutions in Taiwan dedicated entirely to promoting writers and their contributions.
The museum displays manuscripts and personal objects from Taiwanese writers, showing how their work shaped the region's literary identity. Visitors see how authors connected their writing to local life and community values.
The site is set in the hills of Meinong and is best explored on foot, with pathways connecting the building and surrounding areas. Plan time to view the exhibitions at a relaxed pace and enjoy the quiet landscape around you.
A walking path loops around the building, connecting both sides with views of the surroundings. Along the way, visitors encounter a statue of writer Chung Li-ho that commemorates his life and literary work.
