    (Translated by Google) The oldest existing meteorological building in Taiwan. It was located on the highest point of the former Tainan Fucheng, and it used to be called "Jiuling Terrace". Because of the white tower in the middle of the building, the old Tainan people called it the pepper pipe. During the Japanese occupation period, the Tainan Weather Survey Office, which was completed in Meiji 31 ​​(1898), consists of two structures: a circular building and a wide chimney tower. The circular building at the bottom is about 15 meters in diameter, and the building area is 180 square meters, about 50 ping. Above the plane of the circular building is a central round tower anemometer with a diameter of about 3 meters and a height of about 6.5 meters in the shape of a chimney tower. The circular building takes this wind force as the central axis, and the rest of the building is covered with roof tiles, and the external steel bars are arranged in a radial pattern of 18. It is divided into six rooms except for the east-west aisle. The height of the official building together with the wind meter of the central round tower above is 11.6 meters. (Original) 臺灣現存最古老的氣象建築。座落於昔日臺南府城的最高點,舊名為「鷲嶺台地」,因建築中間有白色高塔,老臺南人稱呼為胡椒管。 日治時期明治31年(1898年)落成的臺南測候所廳舍為圓形建物與寬煙囪塔樓兩種構造組成。底下的圓形建物,直徑約略15公尺,其構成的建物面積為180平方公尺,合約50餘坪。其圓形建物平面上方則置有直徑寬約3,高約6.5公尺煙囪塔樓狀的中央圓塔風力計。圓形建物以該風力計為中軸,其餘部分上鋪屋瓦,搭建的外部鋼條呈十八條放射狀排列。除東西向走道外區分為六室,該官署建物連同上方中央圓塔風力計共高11.6公尺。

    疫情期間要提早兩天預約! 有登記才會讓你入館。 南博one的集章臺放在戶外,沒預約到參觀也能蓋到章。 免門票 整體慢慢參觀時間+解謎其中兩條線花費約3小時 有實境解謎遊戲,用Line互動,知識題部份蠻容易的,幾乎都能直接答,不過有些題目要到看板前才能找到答案,也算是蠻有趣味的,每破一條線都能換小禮物,有拿到一組插畫明信片跟筆記本,覺得禮物蠻好的!但志工跟館員似乎沒碰過這款自家的遊戲😂卡關找不到看板還是要靠自己的腦袋瓜呦~ 本館一樓是早期的展品了,記得十年前國中戶外教學來就差不多這樣了,但樓上有新的展覽,色彩鮮豔繽紛,也有蠻多互動設施(但疫情期間很多都不開放)跟大型桌遊(?)。 內容幾乎都是簡單的國高中地科,但因呈現方式不錯,回憶以前所學的過程很歡樂。 都有英文介紹!是當天參觀附近幾個地方英文內容最好最詳細的。 古蹟部份跟印象中的展出一樣,所以僅有短暫繞一圈,早上有開冷氣但下午不知道為什麼沒開,空間有檜木香。 胡椒罐本體無法上去。 古蹟建築的特色介紹偏少。

    (Translated by Google) The "octagonal" buildings are very special. However, the museum is closed on that day. The "Tainan Observatory", which was completed in 1898, was one of the first batch of meteorological stations established in the early Japanese occupation, and it is also the oldest meteorological building in existence in Taiwan. There is a cylindrical wind tower about 12 meters high in the center of the building. The tower body is surrounded by a lower one-storey 18-sided office space. It is located at the highest point of the former Tainan Fucheng. Because of the tall white tower in the middle of the building, the old Tainan people called it a pepper pipe. The circular structure and the wide chimney tower are composed of two structures. The circular building underneath has a diameter of approximately 15 meters, and the building area is 180 square meters, with a contract of more than 50 square meters. Above the circular building plane is a central round tower anemometer with a diameter of about 3 and a height of about 6.5 meters in the shape of a chimney tower. The circular structure uses the anemometer as the central axis, and the rest of the building is paved with roof tiles, and the external steel bars constructed are arranged in a radial pattern of eighteen. Except for the east-west walkway, it is divided into six rooms. The official building and the central round tower wind meter above it are 11.6 meters high.

    (Translated by Google) On July 12, 1896, the Governor's Office of Taiwan established the locations and names of 5 weather stations (Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Hengchun, Penghu). The "Tainan Weather Station" was established at the same time as the other 4 laboratories. Construction began in 1897, and in 1898, Completed in late April of this year. The total number of pings in the newly built Tainan Observatory Hall is about 50 pings. The plane is centered on the central anemometer round tower. In addition to the east-west walkway, it is divided into 6 rooms. The central round tower anemometer table, commonly known as the "pepper tube," is 40 feet high. The building of the weather station is basically a building whose function is the main consideration. Therefore, the style and space are mainly to cooperate with the meteorological assessment observations. In this circular weather station, the overall building structure is a three-layer concentric circle, surrounded by rings. From the inside to the outside, it is a wind tower, a circular channel and a circular office space. The central wind tower, commonly known as the "pepper tube," is a brick-made load-bearing wall shaped like a retractable chimney. The upper and lower ends are covered with eaves that are layered. Except for the central round tower, roof tiles are laid on the rest, and the tiles are arranged in eighteen radial patterns. (Original) 1896年7月12日臺灣總督府制定5個測候所 (台北、台中、台南、恆春、澎湖)之地點與名稱,「台南測候所」與其他4所同時成立,並於1897年開工,而於1898年4月下旬全部竣工。新築之台南測候所廳舍總坪數約50坪, 其平面以中央風力計圓塔為中軸,其餘部分上鋪屋瓦,瓦壠呈 18 條放射狀排列。除東西向走道外,區分為6室,俗稱「胡椒管」的中央圓塔風力計台高40尺。 測候所建築基本是以機能為主要考慮的建築物,因而在式樣造型上及空間上主要是為了配合氣象估觀測,在此圓形測候所中,整體建築結構是以三層同心圓,環環相套而成,由內到外依序為風塔、環形通道及環形事務空間。俗稱「胡椒管」的中央風力塔為收分狀煙囪造型之磚造承重牆,上下端部以層層出挑的簷口作為收頭。除中央圓塔外,其餘部分上鋪屋瓦,瓦呈十八條放射狀排列。

    「台南測候所」前身為台南氣象局,主要負責氣象觀測的建築,是臺灣現代氣象觀測的啟蒙地。測侯所位於中西區湯德章公園往公園路方向左側,是一棟造型獨特的建築物,中央寬煙囪塔樓為風力塔,當地人暱稱「胡椒管」,目前僅開放參觀一樓圓形的前辦公處所。 參觀時可以特別注意以下五處特點: 1.十八角樓造型的18邊形放射狀屋簷 2.上下推拉式的18扇日本傳統木窗、 3.黑玄武岩外牆及13條溝的溝紋磚 4.加高的地基及天花板有通氣孔,以適應潮濕的氣侯 5.建築物內部由檜木製成的木條灰泥天花板 其他展覽文物如各種老舊氣候觀測儀器、古早的辦公室和媒體室,也值得留心。

    早想拜訪台南18角樓的測候所,這次參加台南大學舉辦的建城400年,順便一遊。可惜我周六去沒開,今天周一去,卻說要前兩天預約。 我有點火的說:周六我來過,沒開!今天來又説要前二天預約,我住新竹,什麼時候才能參觀?這對外來遊客太不友善了吧! 好吧,不為難他們了,就自己讀讀資料吧!只可惜正在展出的「風雨1911-庶民視角下的超級大颱風」,看起來很值得一看,只能外面看看圖文的輸出了! 友人説,台南測候所是台灣五大測候所之一,而且是仍保存完整的測候所。原台南測候所建於1898年,2003年升格為國定古蹟。 日本時代氣象觀測是掌握台灣經濟與民生重要的關鍵點,於是當時的台灣總督府在日本中央氣象局的幫助下,開始籌畫氣候觀測機構,最後在台灣設置了五個測候所,分別是台北、台中、台南、恆春及離島澎湖。 其實新竹也有觀測所,是日本時代建物,仍保存在新竹公園內。維基百科介紹:新竹觀測所是日本時期新竹氣象站,因應1935年發生的新竹台中大地震,1937年建於新竹公園內地勢較高處,舊稱枕頭腳山,戰後仍作為氣象觀測站。直至1991年遷往竹北,原建築移交新竹市政府。 維基百科繼續說明,1930年新竹台中發生芮氏規模7.1地震,為台灣有史以來最嚴重的災害,造成多數建築倒塌與人員傷亡。 台灣總督府因而在新竹市,設立新竹觀測所,並安置專業的地震觀測設施。最初稱為新竹觀測所,隔年8月改稱新竹測候所。在戰前臺灣總督府下的12座中,新竹測候所與臺北、阿里山、高雄測候所同屬A級測候所,其他則為B級測候所。 根據台南旅遊網説:現代氣象科技展示場,與原台南測候所結合成為氣象展示場,不僅還原了古蹟之美,更蘊含世代交替的文化傳承。 台南旅遊網介紹,原台南測候所在台南人心中一樣有著很重要的地位,測候所位置在當時台南市中心最高處,海拔14m的鷲嶺,因為造型的關係,被許多老台南人戲稱為胡椒罐,也因為特殊的18等分放射狀屋頂,也被稱為18角樓。 原台南測候所座落在氣象局南區氣象中心前方,在兩棟現代化大樓之中非常顯眼,仔細觀察的話會發現建築物,是以三個同心圓環環相扣而成,最內層的圓就是白色的圓塔,裡面擺滿了各種氣象觀測設備,中間的圓是走道,最外層的圓就是辦公室,特殊的外觀總讓遊客忍不住多看兩眼。 氣象展示場每到3~4月間紅花風鈴木盛開時,總是吸引許多人潮聚集,粉紅色的花與氣象博物館跟對面太平境教會互相輝映,常常引人駐足觀賞;到了夜晚粉紅色的風鈴木有如夜櫻般艷麗,是您不可錯過的一幕。 以上就是台南旅遊網的介紹。報告完畢! 我想問問 #原台南測候所 的大官們,你們服務的對象是誰?周六日不開放,只有周一到周五,誰有時間在上班時間去參觀?所以你們的博物館,只做給自己看了爽的嗎?

    (Translated by Google) Wonderful gas phase station in modern building The Meteorological Science and Technology Exhibition Center combines with the original Tainan Observatory to become a meteorological exhibition site, which not only restores the beauty of monuments but also contains the cultural heritage of generations. It is one of the environmental education facilities in Tainan City. The original Tainan survey site also has a very important position in the hearts of Tainan people. The survey site was located at the highest point in Tainan city center at that time, 14 meters above sea level. Because of the shape, it was nicknamed by many old Tainan people as a pepper pot, because of the special 18 Sub-radial roof, also known as the 18th floor. The original Tainan Observatory is located in front of the Meteorological Center's Southern District Meteorological Center. It is very conspicuous in the two modern buildings. If you look closely, you will find that the building is connected by three concentric rings. The innermost circle is The white round tower is full of various meteorological observation equipment. The circle in the middle is the walkway. The outer circle is the office. The special appearance always makes tourists look harder. When the meteorological exhibition ground is in bloom from March to April, it always attracts a lot of people to gather. The pink flowers and the Meteorological Museum and the Taipingjing church opposite each other, often attract people to stop and watch; at night, the pink bellflower As beautiful as the night cherry blossoms, it is a scene you must not miss. The original Tainan Observatory, commonly known as the Pepper Pipe, is a meteorological observation building located in the Central and Western District of Tainan City, Taiwan. It was built in the Meiji 31 ​​years (1898) during the Japanese rule. It is composed of two round structures and a wide chimney tower. One of the few large buildings built in the early period of governance was also the inspiration for modern meteorological observation in Taiwan. The original Tainan Observatory was declared a Tainan City Historic Site in 1998, and was upgraded to a National Historic Site in 2003. Beginning in the Japanese rule in 1895, the Governor-General's Government of Taiwan began to build the "new territory." Meteorological observations are a very important point for mastering Taiwan's economy and people's livelihood. In the following year of the Meiji 29 (1896), Dou Tyuyu, an official of the Government Office of the Governor General of Taiwan, assisted with the Japan Central Meteorological Bureau to develop a climate observation agency in Taiwan. In March of the same year, the relevant government agency units of the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Government Office of Taiwan were established. . After planning and surveying, the meteorological unit affiliated to the Civil Affairs Bureau of the Governor's Government of Taiwan formulated the locations and names of five weather stations on July 12, the same year, namely, "Taipei Observatory," "Taichung Observatory," "Tainan Observatory," and "Heng The "Spring Observatory" and the "Penghu Observatory" located on the outlying islands were prioritized over Taipei, Tainan, and Penghu due to the acquisition of materials. Among them, the Tainan Observatory is scheduled to be located at the highest point in Tainan's city center-Fuling, then Taipingjing Street, now Park Road. The Tainan Observatory Hall, completed in the 31st year of the Meiji period (1898), consists of a circular structure and a wide chimney tower. The round building underneath has a diameter of about 15 meters. The area of ​​the building is 180 square meters and the contract is more than 50 square meters. Above the circular building plane is a central round tower anemometer with a diameter of about 3 in width and a height of about 6.5 meters. The circular building uses the anemometer as the center axis, and the other parts are covered with roof tiles. The external steel bars are arranged in eighteen radial arrangements. Except for the east-west walkway, it is divided into six rooms. The official building and the central round tower anemometer above it are 11.6 meters high. In terms of building structure, in addition to the use of bricks, the oblique roof was initially constructed with black tiles, and eighteen beams composed of steel bars on the roof were erected from the upper edge of the inner ring wall of the central round tower, and finally passed through the middle ring wall. The top is formed by the tower on the outer ring wall. The building was not only the tallest building in Tainan City at the end of the 19th century, but also a tall building rarely seen in Taiwan at that time. After several degrees of renovation, although the structure of the weather station has not changed significantly, the original plaster coating appearance has been changed from red brick to brick, and the tiles have been changed to ghost tiles. In addition, the lower edge of the copiled pillar becomes a stone-made base, and the column foot and the outer ring wall are also connected by stone, presenting a circular "octagon". In addition, the underside of the base is decorated with washed stones. (Original) 在現代建築中的美妙氣相站 代氣象科技展示場與原台南測候所結合成為氣象展示場,不僅還原了古蹟之美更蘊含了世代交替的文化傳承,參觀者可見證一百多年來氣象進步的軌跡,亦可瞭解自然科學的奧妙,為臺南市環境教育設施場所之一。 原台南測候所在台南人心中一樣有著很重要的地位,測候所位置在當時台南市中心最高處,海拔14m的鷲嶺,因為造型的關係,被許多老台南人戲稱為胡椒罐,也因為特殊的18等分放射狀屋頂,也被稱為18角樓。原台南測候所座落在氣象局南區氣象中心前方,在兩棟現代化大樓之中非常顯眼,仔細觀察的話會發現建築物是以三個同心圓環環相扣而成,最內層的圓就是白色的圓塔,裡面擺滿了各種氣象觀測設備,中間的圓是走道,最外層的圓就是辦公室,特殊的外觀總讓遊客忍不住多看兩眼。 氣象展示場每到3~4月間紅花風鈴木盛開時,總是吸引許多人潮聚集,粉紅色的花與氣象博物館跟對面太平境教會互相輝映,常常引人駐足觀賞;到了夜晚粉紅色的風鈴木有如夜櫻般艷麗,是您不可錯過的一幕。 原臺南測候所,俗稱胡椒管,是位於臺灣臺南市中西區的氣象觀測用建築,建於日治時期明治31年(1898年),以圓形建物與寬煙囪塔樓兩種構造組成,是臺灣日治初期興建的少數大型建築之一,也是臺灣現代氣象觀測的啟蒙地。 原臺南測候所於1998年宣告為臺南市定古蹟,2003年升格為國定古蹟。 1895年臺灣日治時期開始,臺灣總督府展開對「新領土」的基礎建設,其中氣象觀測對掌握臺灣經濟與民生是相當重要的關鍵點。隔年的明治29年(1896年),臺灣總督府官署所屬官員土居通豫在日本中央氣象局幫助下,於臺灣籌畫氣候觀測機構,並於同年3月成立臺灣總督府民政局測候所的相關官署單位。 經過規劃探勘後,該隸屬於臺灣總督府民政局的氣象單位再於同年7月12日制定5個測候所的地點與名稱,分別是「台北測候所」、「台中測候所」、「台南測候所」、「恆春測候所」與位於離島的「澎湖測候所」,因資材取得因素,優先於臺北、臺南、澎湖等3處建立。其中臺南測候所則預定設置在臺南市中心最高點-鷲嶺,當年太平境街,今為公園路。 日治時期明治31年(1898年)落成的臺南測候所廳舍為圓形建物與寬煙囪塔樓兩種構造組成。底下的圓形建物,直徑約略15公尺,其構成的建物面積為180平方公尺,合約50餘坪。其圓形建物平面上方則置有直徑寬約3,高約6.5公尺煙囪塔樓狀的中央圓塔風力計。圓形建物以該風力計為中軸,其餘部分上鋪屋瓦,搭建的外部鋼條呈十八條放射狀排列。除東西向走道外區分為六室,該官署建物連同上方中央圓塔風力計共高11.6公尺。 在建物結構方面,此測候所除採磚造材質外,初建時斜屋頂採用黑瓦,屋面鋼條組成的十八根大樑由中央圓塔內環牆之磚疊上緣架設,最後經中環牆頂部在塔於外環牆上而成。而該建物不但於19世紀末期的臺南市為最高的建築物,也是當時臺灣少見的高聳建築。 經過數度整修後,今測候所結構雖無大幅度改變,但是原來的灰泥塗裝外觀改由紅磚磚面,瓦片則改為鬼瓦。除此,附壁柱下緣變成石造基座,柱腳及外環牆亦以石材連接,呈現圓形的「十八邊形」,另外,基座下方外飾洗石子。

    嗨!我最近發現了一個絕對值得推薦給你的地方,那就是原台南測候所!這座國定古蹟保存得非常完好,散發著濃濃的古色古香。這裡不僅有著台灣現存最古老的氣象建築,還有一個現代化的氣象博物館。在博物館裡,你可以了解到各種有趣的氣象現象,還可以親自參與一些科學設施,絕對讓你愛不釋手。而且,附近還有很多好吃的小吃和景點,你可以安排一整天的行程。總之,我真心推薦你來這裡走走,絕對會留下美好的回憶!

    原臺南測候所的功能在後來的年代逐漸被取代,並於1988年停止使用。然而,這座建築物被保留下來並修復,成為一個具有歷史價值和文化意義的景點。前幾天發現從小看到大的地方變成好漂亮的博物館,對外開放,供遊客參觀,展示了臺灣過去的氣象觀測技術和設備。建築風格融合了西方與東方的特色,是臺南市的重要歷史建築之一。我真的很喜歡!!!很適合古蹟迷來朝聖,像是喜歡大稻埕的朋友們,這裡有中西揉雜的建築外牆,這些古蹟都具有豐富的歷史背景和文化價值,如果你對臺南的歷史和文化有興趣,可以考慮前往這些地方參觀。

    (Translated by Google) (2020.12.23) A small architectural monument during the Japanese Occupation period. The internal exhibition content is the previous weather data and information related to the restoration of the building. It feels a bit difficult to cut into history from a meteorological point of view, so the stay time is very short. (Original) (2020.12.23) 小小的日治時期建築古蹟,內部展覽內容為以前的氣象資料,以及此建物復原的相關資訊。感覺要從氣象的角度來切入歷史,是有些困難,所以滯留時間就很短囉。
