Daxi Wood Art Ecological Museum - Daxi Public Hall Introduction
The original Daxi Public Hall Western-style building is currently a wood museum that showcases the collection and special exhibitions of Daxi's characteristic furniture, providing a space for Daxi's wood craftsmen to demonstrate their exquisite craftsmanship. Originally built as the Daxi Public Hall, during the Japanese occupation, it was funded by local gentry to establish the public hall as the "Daxi Public Hall Foundation." The hall was completed in 1923 and consists of a brick Western-style building and a wooden Japanese-style building. The Western-style building was used for meetings, gatherings, lectures, banquets, and ceremonies, while the Japanese-style building served as accommodation, rest, and cultural education space. It is currently the only preserved Japanese-era public hall in Taoyuan and retains the complete context of the park and surrounding buildings. It was registered as a historic building in 2004. In 2020, renovations were completed, focusing on "wood furniture" as a theme, serving as a display space for furniture creations that combine the craftsmanship of Daxi's wood artisans with design and contemporary living needs.
