Alian Cultural Center Introduction
The Alian Cultural Center in Pingtung, also known as the Xiao Family Temple, was built in 1880. In 2001, it was selected as one of Taiwan's historical architectural sites and in 2004, it was designated as a county-level historic monument by the government. The Xiao Family Temple is an important cultural asset in the Chonglan area and played a significant role in the establishment of the Alian Cultural Center. The purpose of the cultural center is to maintain and expand the historic site of the Xiao Family Temple, establish a local historical data museum, and set up creative workshops. It also organizes community arts exhibitions and training courses for guides, collaborating with the Chonglan Community Development Association of Pingtung County to promote community development, transforming the Chonglan Eco Park into a smoke-free park. The Alian Cultural Center effectively reutilizes the historic building to promote creative cultural industries and community development, aiming to enhance the cultural lifestyle circle of Pingtung County and city for urban tourism marketing.
