Taoyuan City Tudigong Cultural Center Introduction
Reservation Tour Information >> https://www.taoyuantudigong.org.tw/main/ Within Taoyuan District, there are more than seven land gods temples per square kilometer, ranking first in the nation in terms of density. To promote the culture of land god belief, the first public temple in Taoyuan City, Fude Temple, has been established on the first floor. The temple features a stunning altar, splendidly painted beams, and powerful stone carvings, showcasing its magnificent aura. Fude Temple, as the first public temple in Taoyuan City, does not accept donations from worshippers and does not encourage the burning of joss paper or incense, in response to environmental protection efforts. The permanent exhibition spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floors showcase numerous deities, allowing visitors to observe the exquisite art of the statues up close. Additionally, rich documentary resources and vivid simulated environments, such as a Taiwanese opera stage, puppetry booth, and temple market stalls, provide insights into Taoyuan's history, the local connection to the land, temple culture, and the diverse beliefs surrounding land gods globally. The museum offers free traditional costumes and puppets for visitors to enjoy becoming actors or puppeteers. The Children's Cultural Center on the 2nd floor incorporates multimedia interactive games, allowing children to easily learn about early Taiwanese civilian life and land god culture. The "Creative Base for Arts and Innovation" located in the facility not only serves as a platform for creator exchanges but also regularly features puppet shows, storytelling theaters, and various parent-child courses. The 4th, 5th, and 6th floors are planned as a civic art gallery, providing visitors with an artistic feast through various forms of static exhibitions and multimedia appreciation.
