On the 21st September 1999, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck central Taiwan, Nantou County resulting in over 1000 deaths. Many of these were school children who died when their school collapsed around them. The 921 Earthquake Museum preserves Guangfu Junior High School in its original state to enforce the memory of those lives lost. It features information about the national tragedy as well as the geological fault lines of through Taiwan, the human relationship with them and what to do when one happens. This is a truly one-of-a-kind experience that can one can spend anywhere from two to three hours to appreciate. Well worth checking out.
