【Take You Inside the Magical World of Musical Bells】The Taiwan Modern Musical Bell Museum was founded by the local Wufeng company, Keiyang Precision, which has been operating for 43 years. It is the only factory that produces the Sankyo musical bells exported to Japan. Hidden in the culturally rich and musically literate Wufeng district of Taichung, the pleasant and enchanting melodies emanating from the Otaru Music Box Museum in Hokkaido all come from musical bells made by Keiyang Company in Taiwan – truly a shining beacon of Taiwan! The museum is open to the public, offering visitors the chance to explore and experience handcrafted music boxes. Everyone is welcome to step into the colorful world of musical bells.
