Closed through 16 October 2026, so leave it out of near-term plans.

Yang Kui wrote about labour, served prison time, and grew flowers. His work was banned before and after the war. The museum sits in Xinhua, where he lived.

The district office states it is closed for works until 16 October 2026. Until then, do not put it in a day plan.

Get there

Public transport

Xinhua has no railway station; use a bus from Tainan or drive. The museum is closed through 16 October 2026, so do not make a special trip yet.
