Beimen Forest Railway Story House was established to promote Chiayi's city tourism. The museum's exclusive specialty souvenir - Taocheng Taiping Cake, its historical anecdote originates from the city defense battle that occurred in Chiayi during the Qing Dynasty. When food was scarce and there was no external aid, soldiers and civilians mashed longan seeds to stave off hunger, hoping for peace soon, hence the name "Taiping Cake" (Peace Cake). The ingredients and filling of Taocheng Taiping Cake use the famous Dongshan smoked longan from Tainan, with plump flesh and moderate sweetness, paired with California walnuts, blending Eastern and Western ingredients. It has been recognized by the Ministry of Economic Affairs as one of the top 100 commercial districts nationwide and has won the Chiayi City National Environmental Education Award for excellence, becoming a very representative intellectual tourist attraction in the area. Recommended souvenir: Taocheng Taiping Cake (Longan Walnut Crisp).
