Taoyuan City Tudigong Culture Museum Introduction
Reservation Tour Information >> https://www.taoyuantudigong.org.tw/main/ In Taoyuan District, there are more than 7 land god temples per square kilometer, making it the highest density in the country. To promote the culture of land god faith, the first public temple in Taoyuan City, Fude Temple, is established on the first floor; the splendid shrine, magnificent painted beams, and powerful stone carvings showcase the grandeur of the temple. Fude Temple, as the first public temple in Taoyuan City, does not accept offerings from devotees and does not encourage burning joss paper or incense, in response to environmental protection efforts. The permanent exhibition spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors house many deities, allowing the public to observe the exquisite art of deity statues up close. Additionally, a wealth of literature resources and vivid simulated scenarios, such as traditional opera stages, puppetry settings, and street vendor scenes, enable the public to understand the history of Taoyuan, the sentiments of Taiwanese people toward this land, temple culture, and the diverse beliefs in land gods worldwide. Free traditional costumes and puppets are available for visitors to experience the joy of becoming performers or puppeteers. The Children's Cultural Hall on the 2nd floor features multimedia interactive games, allowing children to easily learn about the early daily lives of common people in Taiwan and land god culture. The "Yitaoqiu Cultural Creative Base," where multiple artists reside, serves not only as a communication platform for creators but also regularly offers puppet shows, story theaters, handmade courses, and various family-oriented programs. The 4th, 5th, and 6th floors are planned as a community art gallery, creating an artistic feast for visitors through various forms of static exhibitions and multimedia appreciation.
