Taiwan Times Village, Cultural museum in Caotun Township, Taiwan.
Taiwan Times Village is a museum featuring reconstructed historical streets, shops, and living quarters from different periods arranged across multiple community blocks. The site displays architectural details and furnishings that reflect how these spaces actually looked during their time.
The site was created to document Taiwan's past through recreations of different communities. Dedicated exhibition areas highlight the histories of Hakka, Minnan, aboriginal, and Chinese veteran populations and their respective roles in the island's development.
Visitors experience daily routines from past eras through interactions with actors portraying historical roles such as police officers and street vendors. These live portrayals show how people once worked and lived together in their communities.
The site is accessible by car via Highway 3 or by public transportation. Plan to spend several hours exploring all areas and interacting with the historical recreations throughout the grounds.
A standout feature is a fully reconstructed railway station with actual train tracks, a working locomotive model, ticket office, and waiting area. This realistic replica shows how rail travel once shaped daily movement and commuting for local residents.
