When entering into Zuochen by way of Taiwan Provincial Highway 20, you are sure to come across signs to Tsai-liao Fossil Museum of Tainan City , which is situated next to Guangrong Elementary School. Within the museum are many fossils excavated from the Tsai-liao River in Zuochen, with most of these donated by Chen Chunmu, nicknamed Grandpa Fossil. Due to the chalky soil within the area, after any violent rain all kinds of fossils would be eroded and appear on the river bed, amongst which the 1970 the discovery of the fossilized skull of the Tsuo Chen Man is the most well known. Currently, the museum features an abundance of fossils and other gems, and one of the most interesting is a Hayasaka rhino fossil. There are also fossils of deer, crocodiles, and shellfish; and there are organisms from both water and land. Due to the fact that Tsai-liao is an important cultural area with regards to the Pingpu tribe, besides the fossil museum is also a natural history education building, on the second floor of which there is a display on the Siraya tribe. On the third floor is an area dedicated to the Pingpu tribe, as well as a special exhibition about Chen Chun-mu. As such, it is possible to learn more about the Siraya culture and the stories of Chen Chun-mu's fossil hunting.
