Explore the Unprecedented Collaboration Exhibition-‘Beauty Speaks for Itself’
Beauty Speaks For Itself, a highly anticipated exhibition, opened earlier this fall at the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
Upon entering the gallery, you will be immediately drawn to the first display case showcasing three distinct objects: a revolving openwork vase adorned with dragon and lotus motifs in yangcai enamels from the National Palace Museum, a wine-red buire de Blois (porcelain ewer) from the Musée des Arts Décoratifs with Asian-inspired designs, and a mid-20th-century Zip necklace by Van Cleef . Worth to visit!
Bringing together over 260 associated works in the immersive form of ‘tableaux,’ the exhibition takes place twice, in two different locations: from September 26 to December 29, 2024, in Taipei, then from January 23 to April 20, 2025, in Chiayi.

Reading ancient books to get a glimpse into the secrets of the body - The Palace Museum's [Body Performance] Medical Books Special Exhibition
At the National Palace Museum in Taipei, a special exhibition "Body Performance" is quietly on display, focusing on the ancient Chinese understanding and record of the human body. From the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine to the illustrated medical books of the Ming and Qing dynasties, this is not just a book on medical treatment, but also an exploration of body knowledge, culture and aesthetics.
The exhibition area uses ancient books with pictures and texts to show how the ancients viewed the operation of internal organs, the circulation of qi and blood, and even knowledge such as female pregnancy and menstrual cycle. You can also see illustrations of health-preserving techniques such as "guiding" and "qigong", making the human body an object to be viewed and interpreted, which is full of thoughts and beauty.
This is not just a medical exhibition, but also a dialogue window between the history of thought and the history of culture.

Taipei's National Palace Museum: A Showcase of Treasures and Jewelry
Stepping into the exhibition room "Jadeite Splendor" at Taipei's National Palace Museum feels like entering the treasure vault of ancient royalty. The room displays a collection of court treasures and ornaments from various dynasties, including jade artifacts, hair accessories, sachets, and vessels. Each piece dazzles with brilliance and exquisite craftsmanship. Particularly noteworthy are the Qing Dynasty court jewels, featuring gold-thread inlays and jadeite carvings that not only demonstrate exceptional artistry but also embody blessings and aesthetic tastes.
As I gaze upon a gold hairpin adorned with sapphires, I imagine how the imperial consorts once walked gracefully through the palace, their steps as delicate as blooming lotus flowers. This exhibition is a timeless dialogue through jewelry, showcasing beauty that leaves one breathless.

Classic museum〔National Palace Museum in Taipei〕, must-see jadeite cabbage
The cultural landmark that you must visit when you come to Taipei is the National Palace Museum! This museum, which collects the essence of Chinese art for thousands of years, has the "Jade Cabbage" as its treasure. The cabbage and insects are cleverly carved out of natural jade. Not only is the technique amazing, but it also implies integrity and many children and grandchildren, and is deeply culturally symbolic.
In addition to the Jade Cabbage, there are also national treasures such as the Maogong Ding and the Meat-shaped Stone in the museum. Every visit is like traveling through time and space to re-understand history and craftsmanship. It is recommended to rent an audio guide to make the appreciation more in-depth!

An Evening Stroll Around the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Park
#travelinginchina #taichung
A walk around the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Park at night is a serene and captivating experience. As the sun sets and the park transitions into evening, the space becomes tranquil, with the museum's grand architecture illuminated against the night sky. The soft lighting along the pathways and around the park's sculptures creates a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for reflection or a leisurely stroll.
What makes this place truly remarkable is its combination of art, nature, and architecture. The park offers ample green space, dotted with modern sculptures and installations that are even more striking under the night lights. The surrounding trees and open spaces enhance the experience, making it feel like a quiet oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The peaceful ambiance is perfect for those seeking a contemplative space or a moment of calm in an urban setting.
Whether you're a lover of art, nature, or simply appreciate beautiful surroundings, I highly recommend visiting the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts Park at night. It offers a unique opportunity to engage with both the creative and natural elements of the space, making it an unforgettable part of your visit to Taichung.

Must-see spots for sightseeing in Taiwan
📍National Palace Museum
Housing a huge number of historically and artistically valuable works,
6,000 to 8,000 exhibits can be seen at any one time.
The exhibits are replaced regularly,
but it is said that it would take even 10 years to see them all, as it is so grand in scale.
The National Palace Museum (Kuo Li Kuo Congpo Wuyuan) mainly houses treasures owned by the successive dynasties of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
The number of items is approximately 690,000.
It is counted among the four major museums in the world, along with the Louvre in France, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, and the Hermitage Museum in Russia.
The exhibits are replaced every 3 to 6 months, and sometimes they are loaned to exhibitions both domestically and internationally, so make sure to check if the works you want to see are on display before visiting.
It is a spot where you can experience the grandeur of Chinese art and culture.

I don't like history museums, so I didn't plan on going, but I happened to go to the National Palace Museum!
It's a museum that I've been observing for a long time with interest because it has a lot of works and is more interesting than I thought, and it's also available for rent as an audio guide that can be translated into Korean.

🌸🌸If you come to Taipei and don't visit the National Palace Museum, it's a pity.
🌸🌸This museum is built in a modern Chinese architectural style mixed with an ancient Chinese palace.
🌸🌸It is located in the suburbs, but there is public transportation to the museum.
🌸🌸There are many types of art and they are often rotated, probably because there are so many and there is not enough space for exhibitions.

The best tourist attraction, Taipei Palace Museum
One day is not enough to see all of the Palace Museum. If you were to choose the best tour course in Taipei, the Palace Museum would be the top choice. Thousands of treasures and materials from mainland China are on display. If you want to see all of the Palace Museum, 3 nights and 4 days are not enough.
