The second floor is also a permanent exhibition room, providing the fun of "river gold panning" through a multimedia interactive experience.


△ Prince Hotel is famous for the rumor that the Japanese Crown Prince (later Emperor Showa) stayed there during the Japanese colonial period. The dense foliage around it provides privacy. The architectural type of this building is a combination of traditional Japanese academy style and Western-style space, forming a popular building at the time.
