Daxi Wood Art Eco Museum - Daxi Public Hall Introduction
The original Daxi Public Hall Western-style building is currently home to the Wood Museum, showcasing themed exhibitions on Daxi's unique furniture, providing a display space for Daxi wood artisans to present their exquisite woodworking techniques. Originally built as the Daxi Public Hall Western-style building, it was funded during the Japanese colonial era by the "Daxi Public Hall Foundation," with all board members being local gentry. The Daxi Public Hall was completed in 1923, consisting of a brick western-style hall and a wooden Japanese-style hall. The western hall was used for meetings, gatherings, lectures, banquets, and ceremonies, while the Japanese hall served as accommodation, relaxation, and space for cultural education. It is now the only remaining public hall from the Japanese era in Taoyuan and retains the complete context of the surrounding park and buildings. It was registered as a historical building in 2004. After renovations completed in 2020, it serves as a showcase for furniture creations that blend the craftsmanship of Daxi wood artisans with design and contemporary living needs, with a focus on "wooden furniture."
