National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium

Not far from Baisha Beach on a fairly remote stretch of coastline is one of Taiwan‘s finest attractions: the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (國立海洋生物博物館). Despite the odd local, this world-class aquarium is sure to impress. The massive, modern structure houses everything from whale sharks (pictured here) to exotic fish from around the world, to an enormous cold-tank full of penguins. Although it’s a bit out of the way, this should not be missed.
