✅ National Palace Museum, Taiwan

The National Palace Museum is a museum located in Taipei, Taiwan. It was originally located in the Forbidden City in Beiping, Republic of China (now Beijing, China). However, during the Chinese Civil War in 1948, under the orders of Chiang Kai-shek, most of the artifacts were transported to Taiwan and temporarily stored in Taichung and other places. It was reopened in Taipei on November 12, 1965, and has remained there ever since. It consists of one basement level and three above-ground levels.

The Palace Museum houses a staggering 700,000 artifacts spanning all of Chinese history. Excluding key exhibits like jade cabbages, chuiyu bai cai, and rou shings (a type of pork belly resembling Dongpo pork), the museum rotates them every three to six months. It's said viewing them all would take approximately 20 years. Each of these valuable artifacts, with its vast collection, holds a hidden story. Experience the history with the help of a Korean-speaking guide.
