Akhua Local Culture Museum Introduction
The Akou Local Culture Museum in Pingtung is known as the "Hsiao Family Temple," built in 1880. In 2001, it was selected as one of Taiwan's historical architecture highlights and in 2004, the government designated this family temple as a county monument. The "Hsiao Family Temple" is a significant cultural asset in the Chonglan area, serving as a key factor in the establishment of the Akou Local Culture Museum. The purpose of the museum is to preserve and expand the historical site of the "Hsiao Family Temple," establish a local history archive and a creative workshop, and organize community arts exhibitions and guided training courses. It works in conjunction with the Chonglan Community Development Association in Pingtung County to promote community development, transforming the Chonglan Eco Park into a smoke-free park. The "Akou Local Culture Museum" fully utilizes the historical building for creative cultural industries and community development, aiming to achieve a cultural living circle that integrates the city of Pingtung for urban tourism marketing.
