Alishan Museum, Heritage museum in Alishan Township, Taiwan
The Alishan Museum displays exhibits focusing on local forestry, railway history, and indigenous culture within a traditional cypress wood building in Chiayi County.
The museum, founded in 1935 during the Japanese colonial period, underwent substantial renovations in 2007 to modernize its presentation and facilities.
The exhibits showcase the traditions and daily life of the Tsou tribe through artifacts, traditional crafts, and photographic collections from the mountainous region.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking a short walk from Zhaoping Station on the Alishan Forest Railway, with operating hours from 8:00 to 11:00 and 14:00 to 17:00.
The museum features a cross-section of an ancient Taiwanese cypress tree, allowing visitors to examine its growth rings and understand forest development.
