The site preserves Chelungpu Fault and utilizes multi-media technology to introduce earthquake science to the public. The museum is the major feature of the site. As to the function of commemoration and education provided by the site, it will be perceived differently by tourists from different backgrounds. On the point that Environmental Education Law has been promoted actively by many countries, the study would like to explore from an environmental education perspective to see to what extend the tourists from different backgrounds could be inspired by the Museum, which was established for educational purpose.
