Today I visited the National Palace Museum. This is the number one place to visit in the country since it possibly has the best collection of Chinese art, books, and treasures in the world. During the civil war in China 60 years ago, the imperial collection from the Palace (Forbidden City) in Beijing made its way over to Taiwan and it has stayed here from that day. The museum is built on the side of the mountain, away from the center of the city, so everything is in safe keeping in case of war.
Unfortunately, there was no photography inside. But I was able to see a lot of things related to the emperors of China. It was interesting to see the rare book collection, where the books where 500 to 1300 years old, one after another. There were many paintings, strange pieces of jade, and bronzes.
