Why this order
One decorative tile can summon an entire room. Choose a pattern each and talk about somewhere you would like to live. Then take a break from imaginary houses and feed yourselves on Wenhua Road.
Your afternoon and evening
15:30–17:00 tiles; 17:30–18:45 dinner; 19:00 plaza. NT$100 general admission per person; food extra. The basic route needs no booking.
About eleven minutes from Chiayi Station’s front exit to the tile museum. Stay within the city centre for the evening.
