The facility serves as a primary public communication portal for the Taiwan Power Company regarding the operations of the neighboring Third Nuclear Power Plant.
The two prominent robotic polar bears are a signature feature used to illustrate energy conservation and climate change concepts.
The museum uses 3D projection technology to visualize energy transition and the mechanics of reactor cooling systems.
The location is strategically positioned within the Houbihu harbor area, a major hub for recreational diving and fishing in Pingtung.
Exhibits explain the structural engineering behind the plant's massive cooling water intake pipes located offshore.
The Taipower Southern Exhibition Hall is a specialized science museum focused on nuclear energy, power generation, and marine ecology in Southern Taiwan. It is situated adjacent to the Third Nuclear Power Plant, serving as an educational hub for public engagement regarding energy sustainability. The facility features interactive displays that explain the principles of nuclear reactor operations and the conversion of energy. A primary highlight is the pair of life-sized, animated polar bear sculptures that serve as a focal point for environmental awareness. The venue includes an indoor 3D cinema that screens educational films about Taiwan’s geological and natural resources. It also houses observation decks that provide direct views of the nearby nuclear plant and the surrounding Hengchun coastline. The museum incorporates marine education, reflecting its proximity to the Kenting National Park area.
