Reference excerpt

The New Taipei City Gold Museum (traditional Chinese: 新北市立黃金博物館; simplified Chinese: 新北市立黄金博物馆; pinyin: Xīnběishìlì Huángjīn Bówùguǎn), formerly known as the Gold Ecological Park, is a museum of the gold mining industry in Ruifang District, New Taipei, Taiwan.

History The museum was opened on 4 November 2004 by the Taipei County Government as Gold Ecological Park (Chinese: 黃金博物園區). After the formation of New Taipei City, the park was renamed Gold Museum, though as of December 2015, some signage still shows the old name, including the front entrance gate.

Architecture The Gold Museum is an open-air museum consisting of several buildings and sites. The museum buildings used to be offices, dormitories, processing plants and other facilities of the Taiwan Metal Mining Corp. The Gold Museum includes the following: Gold Building, Experience the Benshan Fifth Tunnel, Crown Prince Chalet, Jin Shui Special Exhibition Hall, Gold Refining Building, and Four Joined Japanese-Style Residences.

Exhibitions The Gold Building provides information about the discovery of gold in the area, with displays on the Benshan Tunnels, old mining equipment, mining transport systems and a brief introduction to the World War II Japanese Kinkaseki POW Camp on its first floor. The second floor introduces the properties of gold, with works of art made of gold and a world-record 220.30 kg 999.9 pure gold brick for visitors to see and touch. The Crown Prince Chalet is a residence built in 1922 for the proposed visit of Crown Prince Hirohito to the area (a visit that never materialized). Decades later it was used by Chiang Kai-shek as lodging in the area.

Transportation The museum is accessible by bus from Ruifang Station of the Taiwan Railway.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with New Taipei City Gold Museum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what New Taipei City Gold Museum claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to New Taipei City Gold Museum before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about New Taipei City Gold Museum ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of New Taipei City Gold Museum

In research: New Taipei City Gold Museum appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses New Taipei City Gold Museum in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: New Taipei City Gold Museum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2004 establishments in Taiwan, Geology museums in Taiwan, Gold museums, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for New Taipei City Gold Museum outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
