Dongshi Natural Ecological Exhibition Center.

Serving as the gateway to the Aogu Wetland Forest Park, the Dongshi Natural Ecological Exhibition Center turns a complex environmental history into an accessible, narrative-driven experience. Housed in a two-story building in Chiayi County, the center explains how this former Taiwan Sugar Corporation agricultural site subsided and transformed into a thriving haven for migratory birds. Inside, straightforward exhibits skip the high-tech gimmicks to focus on local fishing tools, rural village history, and coastal dynamics. It is designed to be paired directly with the outdoors; visitors can study the displays on land reclamation and avian habitats upstairs, then head straight onto the surrounding boardwalks to spot the actual wildlife. It is an essential, informative pitstop that gives vital context to the marshlands outside.
