architectural composition

The gold museum has three floors. The permanent exhibition in the exhibition room on the first floor is divided into several themes The history of Jinguashi is divided into four periods: the great navigation period (around the 16th century), the Qing Dynasty (1890-1895), the Japanese occupation period (1895-1945), and the period from the Republic of China to the end of Taijin's business (1945-1987). The place name of "big jinguatou" - Jinguashi comes from this mountain which looks like a pumpkin. In Taiwanese, Jinguashi is a pumpkin, so it is called Jinguashi The "Benshan tunnel model" - the tunnels at the foot of Benshan mountain are all connected. The total length of the tunnels in the whole Jinguashi area is more than 600 kilometers, and the depth reaches 132 meters below sea level. The "early mining process" - the process from blasting to ore mining is completely presented to the public From horses and trams to diesel vehicles, there are a few platform cars for people to visit. "Private gold smelting scenario simulation" - Jinguashi local gold smelting mostly uses cyanidation refining method, saying that gold miners who steal gold from mines are scattered flowers. The indigenous refining is different from Taiwan gold company's mechanized beneficiation and smelting, and the scenario simulation is ten times better "Allied POW camp" - in 1942, the British brought 523 prisoners of war captured in Singapore to Jinguashi. These prisoners were engaged in mining work during the Japanese occupation, a small amount of food rationing and poor environment. As a result, they died of illness or were too weak to work in the Liukeng mine of Benshan at 40 degrees centigrade. New prisoners of war came here one after another to replenish a total of 1135 prisoners of war I used to work for Japanese in Jinguashi. We can remember all these old things.

There is also a permanent exhibition on the second floor of the gold museum, with a total of three themes: "the use of gold" - to let people know what gold can be used in life and technology; "home" - home is an ecological work with 523 golden ants as the main body, each ant is lifelike, which makes people think it is a living ant; "big BRICs" - a big gold brick with a height of 220 kg of 999.9 pure gold won the Guinness world record in 2004. It may take 40 million tons of ore to excavate 220 kg of gold before it can be integrated. The third floor of the gold museum is the "gold panning experience area", which allows people to experience the fun of panning placer gold with gold panning plates. The park also provides small bottles for people to take the washed placer gold home.

The gold of Jinguashi makes the former Jinguashi prosperous and makes today's Jinguashi a good place for people's nostalgia. The appearance of Jinguashi's melon is the appearance of the whole mountain range, and the name comes from it. The food of Jinguashi, the sweet potato of Jinguashi, and the white hairtail soup of pickled cabbage are all authentic dishes of Jinguashi. You should have a good taste when you come to Jinguashi.
