Daxi Wood Art Ecological Museum - Daxi Public Hall Introduction
The original Daxi Public Hall Western-style mansion is currently home to the Wood Museum, which features themed exhibitions showcasing Daxi's distinctive furniture and providing a space for Daxi's woodcraft artisans to display their exquisite woodworking skills. Originally built as the Daxi Public Hall during the Japanese colonial period, it was funded by local gentry through the establishment of the "Daxi Public Hall Foundation." The Daxi Public Hall was completed in 1923, comprising a brick Western-style mansion and a wooden Japanese-style house. The Western-style mansion was used for meetings, gatherings, lectures, banquets, and ceremonies, while the Japanese-style house served as accommodation and spaces for rest and cultural education. It is the only remaining public hall from the Japanese era in Taoyuan and retains the complete context of the park and surrounding buildings. It was registered as a historic building in 2004. After renovation was completed in 2020, it became a space for the exhibition of furniture creations that combine Daxi's craftsmen's skills with design and contemporary living needs, centered around the theme of "wooden furniture."
