National Palace Museum
The National Palace Museum is often described as the most important museum in the Chinese-speaking world. It is home to some 700,000 artifacts, of which only about 3,000 can be displayed at once. So, if you visit often enough, you can cover 8,000 years of Chinese history!
In the final years of the Chinese Civil War, many of the artifacts were carried across China to Taiwan for safe-keeping.
