- To do so, we approach the historical aspect in depth and culture in all its breadth. In terms of historical depth, there is the Tsailiao Fossil Museum in [Tainan’s] Zuozhen District (左鎮), where the fossils on display originated locally, including that of a woolly mammoth and Rhinocerossinensis hayasakai and various animals, as well as fossils of human skulls, which date back about 20,000 or 30,000 years ago. Then there is an archeological site in Sinshih (新市) that dates back to between 5,000 and 7,000 years ago.
