To pass on the cultural values and importance of Han Bing, or Chinese Han Pastry, Jiu Zhen Nan established JZN Han Pastry House in Daliao, Kaohsiung in 2016. With our Delicacy Library, JZN theatre, and most importantly our JZN Cooking Lab, we hope to engage everyone’s five senses to taste, learn, and understand the centennial ways of Jiu Zhen Nan. Our JZN Cooking Lab offers selected Han Bing baking sessions for even the most novice bakers. With a small-sized class and a detailed walk-through with our instructors, we offer different Han Bing sessions during different seasons to adhere to the Chinese way of eating seasonally.

We arrived by taxi and left by E20 bus. The museum is arranged as an entrance building with shops and food vendors, then 8 pagodas (some of which were closed), then the main hall crowned by an enormous Buddha statue. We did not see the Buddha tooth relic, but visited four stupas at the top level. After a nice vegetarian lunch, we took a free shuttle van up to the monastery, and walked back through the grounds to the entrance. We were impressed by the grounds which are well kept.

factory is pretty huge.If you like industrial and trains, this is a cool spot to visit,but there is not much English guide , but you can walking round an old train station and dock yard and there is a lot of public art,it is very cool. someone will say, here is nothing to see and there is no English guide, so it is worst place to visit.i will say it is depends on what is your interest and travel attitudes. i have been travel over 40 nations, sometimes they only have local language,but for me is fine. of course they have English guide is better,you can know more about it, but i will say is still value to visit. 糖廠範圍很大,有許多機械及火車,很值得參觀,如果你是火車迷或喜歡機械,同埋這裡有許多用機械造成的藝術品,很有意思的.雖然管理有點散亂,以及保養不太好,但是這是一個值得參觀的地方,你會感受到當年這裡的繁華,以及有趣的機械與火車. 還是那句,是否值得一遊,真的視乎你旅行的心態,你是否喜歡這類東西,或者你很怕戶外,怕蚊,...那不會是你的選擇.相反,你是一個喜歡睇唔同事物的人,那是很值得來的.

The last train left the city’s oldest train station in 2008. Now, it is a museum devoted to telling the story of rail travel in Taiwan. Entrance to the railway museum is free. Enter the museum to browse its various locomotives that date back many decades. Capture photos of the models and imagine traveling in these outdated trains. See the old-fashioned steam engines on display. We enjoyed seeing the few locomotives, the empty tracks and a place for local artist to display their art.
