In May 2019, Tainan City Zuojhen Fossil Park presented a brand new appearance to the public via the integration of the original Cailiao Fossil Park and the Museum of Natural History. By changing and expanding from a single building to 5 exhibition halls, the Fossil Park combines the functions of scientific archaeology, education promotion, and tourism to display the unique natural and cultural context of the “Fossil Hometown” while forming Zuojhen as an important fossil research base.
