Daxi Wood Art Ecological Museum - Daxi Public Hall Introduction
The original Daxi Public Hall Western-style building currently serves as a wood museum, showcasing themed exhibitions on Daxi’s unique furniture and providing a space for local wood craftsmen to demonstrate their exquisite woodworking techniques. Originally built as the Daxi Public Hall during the Japanese era, it was funded by the establishment of the "Daxi Public Hall Foundation," with members being local gentry. The Daxi Public Hall was completed in 1923 and consists of a brick Western-style building and a wooden Japanese-style structure. The Western-style building was used for deliberations, meetings, lectures, banquets, and ceremonies, while the Japanese-style building served as accommodations, rest areas, and spaces for cultural education. It is currently the only remaining public hall from the Japanese period in Taoyuan, preserving the complete context of the park and surrounding buildings, and was registered as a historical building in 2004. After renovation in 2020, it became a space dedicated to "wood furniture," showcasing furniture creations that merge the craftsmanship of Daxi wood artisans with contemporary design and lifestyle needs.
