Lonely Planet review

The building that houses the new National Museum of Taiwanese Literature was once the Tainan District Hall. Built in 1916 by the Japanese, it's a gorgeous example of colonial architecture. Even if literature is not your greatest interest, it's worth coming just to wander the halls and relax in the foyer.

The museum highlights the development of Taiwanese literature from pre-Han aboriginals through the colonial periods up to the modern era. All exhibits and displays come with English interpretation signs.
