#summervacay Tucked away in Kaohsiung’s Gushan District, this century-old train station turned museum is one of the city’s most underrated gems.

It’s peaceful, photogenic, and perfect for anyone who loves old architecture, trains, or quiet discoveries away from the crowds. Bonus: It’s just a short walk from Pier-2 Art Center and totally free to enter! 📍 Takao Railway Museum, Gushan District, Kaohsiung 🕘 Open 10am–6pm, closed Mondays #takaorailwaymuseum #kaohsiunghiddengem #taiwantravel #oldstationvibes #railwayhistory #historictaiwan #abandonedaesthetic #gushandistrict #pier2artcenter #offthebeatenpathtaiwan #freemuseum #industrialheritage #retrotaiwan #trainloversparadise
