In the museum, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mr. Chen Yonghua introduced and improved the salt-making method from Taiwan and opened up the "Zhou Tsaiwei Salt Field" and the "Takao Salt Field" for Taiwan military and civilian consumption. When the Qing Dynasty, the method of drenching salt and sun-dried salt was still the main method of Taiwanese "salt making" from 1665 to 1928 and the process of salt making during the Japanese era until now. It also introduces in detail the salt from all over the world and can dive into the ground to see the world cultural sites imitating the “Medieval Polish Salt Mine” mine scene.
