Tamsui Historical Museum Offers "God's Eye View" Secret Tour

The Tamsui Historical Museum, in collaboration with the Golden Tulip Hotel, is offering a unique guided tour called "High Vantage, Historical Sight" focusing on the Tamsui-Klong Bridge. This special event, part of the "International Museum Day" celebrations from May 16th to 18th, invites visitors to ascend to three high points for a new perspective on Tamsui's past and present.

The tour begins at the national historic site of Fort Humar, connecting to the outdoor platform of the Cloud Gate Theater and the hotel's observation deck. Professional guides will lead participants to enjoy panoramic views of the Tamsui River estuary and capture striking images of the international landmark, the Tamsui-Klong Bridge.

“

To enhance Tamsui's cultural tourism capacity, we have been actively 'opening up' historical sites since last year, including the century-old gymnasium and rugby field of Tamsui High School, and the Makay House at Aletheia University, allowing more people to walk into historical sites.

Each session is limited to 20 participants, with a total of 60 spots available across three sessions. Free online registration opens on May 8th at noon on the museum's official website. Attendees will receive an exclusive "Fort Humar Badge" as a gift. Museum director Cai Meizhi highlighted the museum's ongoing efforts to "open up" historical sites, making them more accessible to the public and fostering cultural tourism. This year's focus on the Tamsui-Klong Bridge, through various tours and lectures, aims to deepen understanding of Tamsui's historical evolution and cultural journey from diverse viewpoints.

“

This year, with the Tamsui-Klong Bridge as the core, we are successively launching water and land tours, Humar lectures, and themed guided tours, leading the public to observe urban development from a different perspective than before and understand Tamsui's historical changes and cultural journey across different times and spaces.
