Akug Village Cultural Center Introduction
The Akou Local Cultural Center in Pingtung is also known as the "Hsiao Family Shrine." It was built in 1880 and was selected as one of Taiwan's historical buildings in 2001. In 2004, the government designated this family shrine as a county-level historic site. The "Hsiao Family Shrine" is a significant cultural asset for the Chonglan area and played a crucial role in the establishment of the Akou Local Cultural Center. The purpose of the cultural center is to maintain and expand the historic site of the "Hsiao Family Shrine," establish a local history museum and a creative workshop, and conduct community art exhibitions and tour guide training courses. It also collaborates with the Chonglan Community Development Association in Pingtung County to promote comprehensive community building and to transform Chonglan Eco Park into a smoke-free park. The "Akou Local Cultural Center" maximizes the reuse of the historic building, promotes creative cultural industries, and fosters community development, allowing the cultural living circle of Pingtung County to achieve urban tourism marketing.
