Beimen Visitor Center (北門遊客中心) is housed in a refurbished warehouse on the southwest side of the old Beimen Salt Washing Factory(北門洗滌鹽工廠). The outer wall is decorated with paintings by local painter Hong Tong(洪通), and recently, in response to Beimen's rise as a wedding photo location, the wall has been adorned with wedding themed decorations and art installations of all kinds.
The inside the Visitor Center is even more impressive. After going through a variety of exhibitions, visitors arrive at the middle to find the greatest treasure of all: a sperm whale specimen displayed in the very heart of the center. On the floor is an enormous map of the Southwest Coast National Scenic Area (雲嘉南濱海國家風景區), with all the area's leisure locations visible at a glance, in true sightseeing style.
Monday to Sunday 9:00~17:30, closed on Chinese New Year’s Eve
