Taoyuan City Tudigong Cultural Museum Introduction
Reservation guide >> https://www.taoyuantudigong.org.tw/main/ In Taoyuan District, there are more than 7 land god temples per square kilometer on average, ranking first in the country in terms of density. To promote the culture of land god beliefs, the first public temple in Taoyuan City, Fude Temple, is established on the first floor; its brilliantly gilded shrine, beautifully painted beams, and strong stone carvings showcase the temple's magnificent demeanor. As the first public temple in Taoyuan City, Fude Temple not only does not accept donations from believers but also does not encourage people to burn joss paper or incense, responding to environmental protection. The permanent exhibition spaces on the second and third floors display numerous divine generals, allowing the public to observe the magnificent divine statuary art up close. Additionally, there are rich documentary resources and lively simulated environments, such as a traditional Taiwanese opera stage, puppet theater, and temple courtyard vendors, enabling visitors to understand the history of Taoyuan, the feelings of Taiwanese people towards this land, temple culture, and the diverse beliefs in land gods around the world. The museum provides free traditional costumes and puppet theater dolls, allowing visitors to experience the fun of becoming a performer or puppeteer. The Children's Cultural Museum on the second floor combines multimedia interactive games, allowing children to easily learn about the early lives of ordinary people in Taiwan and the culture of land gods. The "Art Taoyuan Creative Base," which hosts multiple artists, serves not only as a platform for creators to exchange ideas but also regularly offers puppet shows, storytelling theaters, and various parent-child courses such as craft classes. The fourth, fifth, and sixth floors are planned as a citizen art gallery, creating a feast of art and culture for visitors through various forms of static exhibitions and multimedia appreciation.
