Hamasen Museum of Taiwan Railway
哈瑪星台灣鐵道館
Taiwan’s largest railway model museum, reproducing stations and trains from across the island to scale; visitors can operate model trains, making it a must for family outings.
Hamasen Museum of Taiwan Railway is in the Pier-2 Penglai warehouse district, housed in a converted old warehouse. Using HO-scale models, it recreates railway scenery along Taiwan’s lines from north to south, including Taipei Station, the Alishan Forest Railway and the high-speed rail. Dozens of model trains run at the same time, and there is a driving experience where you can operate a train yourself. Next door are the Old Takao Station (Dagou Railway Story Museum) and a grassy railway park. Tickets cost about NT$150, and the museum may be closed on Mondays. Getting there: alight at Pier-2 Penglai station on the light rail.
Opening hours
Approx. 10:00–18:00 (closed Mondays; check official site)
