SDGs Literature Education: National Museum of Taiwan Literature Tour

SDGs Literature Education: National Museum of Taiwan Literature Tour

On 21 March 2026, the English Department, in collaboration with the Four-Year College Student Association, organized a one-day field trip to Tainan, during which students visited the National Museum of Taiwan Literature (台灣文學館), Anping (安平), and Yuguang Island (漁光島). This trip aimed to encourage students to engage with and explore Taiwanese culture.

At the National Museum of Taiwan Literature, the focus was on two exhibitions: the long-term exhibition The Power of Literature: Writing OUR TAIWAN and the special exhibition Wandering Words, Free Spirits: Travel Literature. Students strolled through galleries in the historic building, first constructed in 1916 and later expanded with a modern extension. Students were able to experience a blend of past and present architecture. Guided by professional curators, students journeyed through time to learn about the development of Taiwanese literature, reflecting the island’s culture, daily life, and society.

In the afternoon, students explored Anping Old Street and Anping Fort. Anping was one of the earliest developed areas in Taiwan. With its strong connection to maritime and pioneering culture, Anping is home to the Kaitai Tianhou (Mazu) Temple, the oldest temple dedicated to the Chinese goddess Mazu in Taiwan. The town is also known as the origin of Sword Lions, local guardians of households. As students walked through the old streets, they immersed themselves in the historic atmosphere and sampled local delicacies such as shrimp rolls and soybean pudding.

The trip concluded with a visit to Yuguang Island, where students strolled leisurely along the beach, enjoying the sparkling waves, warm sunshine, and soft sand underfoot. This one-day excursion allowed students to experience firsthand how history, daily life, and natural scenery are intertwined, while deepening their understanding of and connection to the principles of the SDGs.

SDGs文學教育：台灣文學館之旅

英文系與大學部系學會合作，於2026年3月21日舉辦台南一日校外教學。學生參觀了台灣文學館、安平以及漁光島。此次活動旨在鼓勵學生親身體驗並探索臺灣文化。

在台灣文學館，學生重點參觀了兩個展覽：常設展《文學力─書寫LÁN臺灣》以及特展《字遊，自在：旅行文學展》。台灣文學館首建於1916年，後來增建了現代化的延伸部分。學生漫遊其中能感受到古今建築的融合。藉由專業導覽員的說明，學生穿越時光，不僅了解臺灣文學的發展且學習島嶼文化、日常生活與社會面貌的演變脈絡。

學生接著探索了安平老街與安平古堡。安平是臺灣最早開發的地區之一，與海洋及開拓文化有密切連結。此地擁有開臺天后宮（媽祖廟），是臺灣最早供奉媽祖的廟宇。此地也是劍獅文化的發源地。劍獅為此地家庭的守護神。學生漫步於老街之中，沉浸於濃厚的歷史氛圍，並品嚐當地特色小吃，如蝦捲與豆花。

活動的最後一站，學生來到了漁光島，沿著海灘悠閒散步，欣賞波光粼粼的海面、溫暖的陽光，以及腳下柔軟的沙灘。這次一日遊讓學生親身體驗歷史、日常生活與自然景觀如何交織，並加深對永續發展目標（SDGs）理念的理解與連結。
