Introduce
Cigu Tourist Center is a new facility spread over 3.8 ha completed by the Southwest Coast National Scenic Area Administration and opened to the public on May 5, 2020. The Center connects the Cigu Salt Mountain with the Taiwan Salt Museum to complete the tourism belt of the Cigu Salt Industry Cultural Park.
The building design was inspired by "levees." Common local elements such as the sea wall, river levees, salt embankments, and soil texture were utilized to reduce the visual impact on the environment. Architectual techniques converted walls into space, similar to how stacked blocks of salt are eroded by the rain into sheer cliffs, gradual slopes, or mountain valleys. The architectual structure recreates the salt mountain landscape within the space to reinforce the vernacular identiy of the building. The distinctive architecture is now a destination for wedding photography and Instagram selfies.
In addition to tourist information services, Cigu Tourist Center includes a southwest coast produce gallery and, display platform for specialty agricultural and fishery products to promote local produce and mini-trips in Cigu. The natural ecological exhibition gallery offers interactive family activities and an eco-learning platform through immersive scenarios.
