Gushan District

Family-friendly, air-conditioned, comfortable, and fun. There's a shopping mall nearby, about a 50-minute drive away. On a clear day, you can see many attractions, and even indoors it feels like outdoors—very comfortable and charming. There's also a small bar where you can bring your laptop to work or browse, which is really nice.

What I liked most was the museum's spatial design and lighting. The exhibition space wasn't as cold as a traditional white cube museum; instead, it had plenty of blank space and an immersive feel, allowing visitors to slowly savor the works. Especially when seeing some of the abstract art and installations, I began to ponder the emotions and life experiences the artists wanted to express, and it made me realize again that art is not just about "looking good," but a way to have a dialogue with one's inner self. In this exhibition, some works utilized a large amount of material, light and shadow, and color variations, revealing a wealth of detail upon close inspection. Some works seemed simple, but the more you look at them, the more you can feel the emotions and energy the creators wanted to convey. In recent years, the museum has also emphasized themes such as "material," "time," and "spirituality," making the entire viewing experience not just a visual treat, but more like a journey of spiritual reflection. Besides the exhibitions themselves, I also loved the environment surrounding the museum. The Jinma Hotel is located in Gushan, Kaohsiung, near Hama Star, with mountain views and a harbor atmosphere. Taking a leisurely stroll after viewing the exhibitions is very relaxing. Overall, this exhibition experience made me realize that art is not far removed from life. As long as you are willing to stop and take a moment, you can find different feelings and thoughts in the works. This trip to Kaohsiung was not just about visiting exhibitions, but more like an art journey that combined history, space, and emotion.

It would be a shame to leave after just looking at the exterior of the building. The lighting and layout of the exhibition were excellent, and the guidance was friendly, so I was very satisfied.

The staff were all very kind and helpful, which was great. They could speak both English and Japanese and taught me a lot. Some areas were closed due to construction, but they offered a discounted price during that period, and the directions to the areas that were open were easy to understand, so I was able to learn a lot and have a great time.

The shop was spacious and clean, and the experience was excellent value for money! It included a foot bath and full-body acupressure, and the staff were very attentive. After the massage, we were also given a gift box of herbal tea and a serving of Guiling jelly.
