◎ Attractions：
The “Juming Museum” located at Jinshan district of New Taipei City is an outdoor museum occupying a grand expanse with many giant sculptures. One can’t get enough photos in a day with its superb art creation and natural sceneries; one can also enjoy the “candle stick rocks” known as the “couple’s rock” along with the lush green forest walkway of the “Lion Head Mountain hiking trail”. At the three centuries old “Jinshan Old Street”, there are the local delicacies and feature souvenirs (such as the duck, sesame rice crispy, yam and taro, etc); and at the “Yehlio GeoPark”, there is the famous “Queen’s Head Rock”, a picture with her is a must for the tourist while appreciating the rock formations most similar to that of Mars on this planet. Nearby Guihou Fishing Harbor allows you to savor the delectable “Steamed Wanli Crab”. Finally, move on to the hot spring hotels in Jinshan or Wanli and enjoy the precious “Ocean Hot Spring”, fulfilling a double enjoyment of the ocean view and hot spring baths.
Juming, a Taiwanese sculptor renowned internationally, established this museum in 1999. At the beginning, he was only trying to find a place to store his large sculptures, but was later inspired by the natural surrounding of Jinshan, and decided to build a park of art, not just to display his works, but also to serve as a venue for creativity of artists.
The 11-hectare park was carefully planned and designated for displays of the major works in the different phases of the artist’s career. The outdoor exhibition space is divided into Taiji Plaza, Human World Square, and Sport Square. The sculptures of his Taiji series, regarded as the best and most famous of his works, are displayed in Taiji Plaza. Besides, the building of the museum is pyramid-shaped, a work of art in itself, displaying indoors his works of woodcarving and pottery as well as works by his mentors and some important documents. The whole park is a work of art for appreciation, inspiration, and recreation.
