National Taiwan Museum Railway Park Ticket in Taipei
- After 15 years of renovation, the Taiwan Governor-General's Office Railway Department, a national historic site, was transformed into the "National Taiwan Museum Railway Department Park" on its 100th anniversary. This Taiwan Railway Administrative Center during the Japanese occupation period not only preserves the railway memories of the Japanese occupation era and the era when the Nationalist government moved to Taiwan, but also has road relics left by the Machinery Bureau of the Qing Dynasty, like a time capsule condensing three dynasties.

Product Info
The National Historic Site, Taiwan Railways Administration Department of the Governor-General of Taiwan, was once the site of the Qing Dynasty's Taipei Machinery Bureau and Taiwan's first modernized train repair industrial park, later becoming the management center for railway transportation across the island. After the completion of the new Taipei Station in 1989 and the relocation of the Taiwan Railways Administration, the space remained vacant. Since 2006, the National Taiwan Museum has collaborated with the Taiwan Railways Administration to transform the railway department into a museum park. The park consists of six national historic buildings, including the main office, canteen, octagonal building, power room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all built during the Japanese colonial period. The main office building was completed in 1920, utilizing a large amount of Alishan cypress in a 'brick-base, wood-top' semi-timber construction. Its exterior features red brick and white imitation stone in the Queen Anne Revival architectural style. Like the octagonal building, it is one of the later representative works in Taiwan by Matsunosuke Moriyama, an engineer from the Taiwan Governor-General's Office of Construction.
There are six national historic buildings in the park, including the hall, canteen, octagonal building, power supply room, engineering office, and wartime command center (air-raid shelter), all of which were built successively during the Japanese colonial period. The main building, the hall, was completed in 1920. It uses a lot of Alishan cypress wood and is a half-timbered building with "brick below and wood above". The exterior is a British Queen Anne Revival historical style of red brick and white imitation stone. Together with the octagonal building, it is a representative work of Moriyama Matsunosuke, a technician of the Construction Department of the Taiwan Governor-General's Office in his later years in Taiwan.
The Railway Ministry Historic Site Exhibition has planned four theme exhibition rooms, six digital tour guides and 20 on-site dismantling investigations to present the historical splendor and architectural features of the Railway Ministry. It also takes the audience back to the restoration site from the perspective of restoration records to get a glimpse of the craftsmen, construction methods and restoration considerations during the restoration process. The wonderful things about the Railway Ministry's historic buildings are waiting for you to visit the site and discover them carefully.
