Taitung Travel: Coral Museum

Travel Date: 2019/08/31-09/02

While in Taidong, we visited the Coral Museum. Honestly, I probably wouldn't go there again. It's an experience that you can visit once in your life, but it's not a must-do activity. Tickets to the Goryeo Coral Museum cost 100NTD. The museum's opening hours are from 13:30 to 17:00, with the last entrance allowed half an hour before closing time.

Goryeo Coral Museum (綺麗珊瑚博物館)

The museum showcases detailed explanations about corals, including how they are formed, the distinction between gemstones and reef-building corals, and a comprehensive introduction to the variety of gemstones. The museum features various gemstone seascapes and displays works by renowned international masters, such as the prestigious former Chuan Taishan and Lai Rongxing's "Jiangnanchun." One of the highlights of the museum is the world's largest red blood coral, which was captured in the outer sea of Taiwan in 1985, purchased by Japanese buyers, and eventually returned to Taiwan after 20 years. The museum records the significant events in the modern development history of Taiwan's coral industry, highlighting the historical significance and cultural importance of gem coral across different cultures. It also presents the unique connection between coral and religion through precious works of art. Visitors can gain an understanding of the gem coral production process through the physical equipment and tools displayed, observing the meticulous eight-step method from selection to polishing. The museum includes an audio-visual room where visitors can watch educational films about coral knowledge, allowing them to learn about the mining process of gem corals and gain a deeper understanding of the historical development of gem coral in Taiwan. The museum also has a gift department that showcases exquisite coral craft treasures. All the displayed corals are natural gem corals and come with a guarantee and complete after-sales service.
