Southwest Coast National Scenic Area

The Beimen Visitor Center was converted from the southwest warehouse in the former Beimen Salt Refining Plant. The highlights of exhibitions at the visitor center include a wall dedicated to Hong Tong, the Taiwanese painter known for an unostentatious style, and an exhibit of Sperm Whale specimens entitled “Fisherman Returning to Beimen.” Also available are an introduction of scenic spots in each geographic area in the north-south direction, an overview of tourism resources under categories such as “History of salt-making industry”, “Wetland ecosystem”, “Religion and culture”, “Local industries” and “Literature and Arts”, as well as an interactive multimedia section that is definitely worth visiting.
