打狗鉄道故事馆

看过旗津岛的落日，换一天夕阳西下时来到这里，红色的建筑，楼内被装饰成纪念品商店，环环绕绕的，行李箱如果可以大一些，我想我会带回来很多茶叶咖啡杯，有限的空间限制我的购买能力，等到夕阳落下，灯光亮起，这座建筑的神秘才显露出来，那种灯光下的颜色真的很适合拍照。

年初的高雄行，由山苏青年旅店步行至中山大学，租借大学门口的类似台北YouBike骑乘至计画中的景点「打狗铁道故事馆」，因尚未开馆，只能在门口拍个照，看着紧邻的西子湾捷运站出口，心想由于骑Bike对附近的了解，临时计画接续的「鼓山渡轮旗津行」，将让高雄捷运体验缘悭一面。这次的大鹏湾泳渡之行，驳二暂泊，一时有点Confuse，熟悉的仓库分明应是驳二，却发现一时看不到年初至此时能看到的海，同时前方广场上黄昏聚集民众的满天风筝景象，年初时也没见着。待行至广场上邻近数个实体火车处，望见外面马路的中油加油站，似曾相识，走进一近似为展馆的建物，至门口，抬头一看，果然就是当时只能明显得见的「打狗铁道故事馆」Mark，才知除了馆内能参观昔日车站相关事物，原来馆后别有洞天。若行程有至西子湾一带，可将「打狗铁道故事馆」列入规划，能更增添行程丰富，此行虽意外得见，也算是续了前缘，感恩！！

从高雄西子湾捷运站一出路，就看见打狗铁道故事馆，大到火车小到办公用品各种老物件忠实还原出当年的火车站模样。

打狗铁道故事馆就位于高雄西子湾捷运旁..从现代化的捷运线过渡到百年前的火车站，的确像是在逛＂故事＂一样，一逛就是一百年。这里印章的种类也是目前为止见到最多的啦！如果想拍复古怀旧颓废小清新等任何一种风格，它都可以满足的哦

还完自行车，打狗铁道故事馆就在不远处铁道上的广场，有溜狗的，有溜小孩的，有放风筝的

It is right outside the exit of xiziwan MRT station. A good place to visit as it is not a train museum but also has a huge flower field that makes whole place colorful. Local kids and adults are playing kites there.

We chance upon this museum when we exited the subway station. There are a few locomotives that has been done up, and there are exhibits in the office area. Visitors are free to roam in the open area where the trains are and you can see numerous people posing with the trains. Entry is free and food & drinks are not allowed in the indoor area housing the exhibits.

Few types of train with introduction to the history of the station. Big park with some art pieces installation. A lot of kite flying and children playing around. Good for family with children or those interested in trains' history

Take your time to take pictures here with the train and railway track. Be creative with the poses. We took a few jump shots and had fun at this park. There are also art pieces on the field that you can take pictures with.

If you enjoy a little cultural arts in your travel itinerary, this is a place I think you can visit. A place where you get to see the trains that are no longer in operation and to understand the origin of Takao Railway. A beautiful place for photo taking as well.

Wonderful place to visit. Connected with Peir 2 Area, nice little museum, huge park transformed by rail warehouse.

We stopped in Kaohsiung as a port of call on a Princess cruise last spring . We took a shuttle which brought us to the Takao Railway Museum . We went in the Museum for about 20 minutes and it was an interesting visit ! What was more interesting though was the fact that : 1) the Museum is right beside the starting point of the city bus sightseeing tour ($0.75) which runs every hour and provides a guided tour of the old part of town 2) the Metro Station is right beside the Museum and from there ,one can get very easily and cheaply to the center of town and see the Dome Light on the way 3) the Pier-2-Art Center is at the back of the Museum , some displays being common to both sights So this is why we say that it was the perfect location for starting our visit of Kaohsiung

A small museum with old trains which are well preserved. Admission is free. Pleasant place to visit!

On exiting the MRT system en route to the Arts district on the pier this was a quick diversion that lay right in my path. Take a few minutes to browse the artifacts, all well preserved and take in the low-key feel inside and out by the locomotives. Didn't move me strongly but for what it is it is a fine effort at preservation and sense of place on a small scale.

OK it will probably only occupy 10 minutes of your day, but it's a great effort by the volunteers who make the place work.There are two steam locos on display, anda selection of artefacts inside. The surroundings are nice and Pier 2 Arts Centre is just across the field.
