Taoyuan City Dads' Culture Museum Introduction
Reservation Guide >> https://www.taoyuantudigong.org.tw/main/ In Taoyuan District, there are more than 7 soil deity temples per square kilometer on average, making it the highest density in the country. To promote the culture of soil deity belief, the first public temple in Taoyuan City, Fude Temple, has been established on the first floor; its magnificent shrine, exquisite painted beams, and powerful stone carvings showcase the temple's grandeur. Fude Temple is the first public temple in Taoyuan City that neither accepts offerings from believers nor encourages people to burn joss paper or incense, supporting environmental protection. The 2nd and 3rd floors have permanent exhibition spaces displaying numerous deity figures, allowing visitors to observe the stunning artistic representations up close. Additionally, there are abundant documentary resources and vivid simulated scenarios, such as a traditional opera stage, puppet theater, and street vendors, enabling visitors to understand the history of Taoyuan, the emotions of Taiwanese people towards this land, temple culture, and the diverse beliefs surrounding soil deities globally. The museum provides free traditional costumes and puppet dolls, allowing visitors to experience the joy of becoming performers or puppeteers. The children's cultural center on the 2nd floor incorporates multimedia interactive games, allowing children to easily learn about early common people's lives in Taiwan and soil deity culture. The "Yitaoqutti Cultural and Creative Base," which hosts various artists, serves not only as a platform for creators to exchange ideas but also regularly launches various parent-child courses, including puppet performances, storytelling theaters, and hands-on classes. The 4th, 5th, and 6th 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.
