Chihshang Distant Story Museum Introduction
The Chishang Fault is a well-known seismic fault in eastern Taiwan, extending from the southeast of Ruifang in Hualien to the southeast of Chishang, particularly around Jinyuan Village in Chishang, where ongoing plate movements cause the land to rise slowly by nearly three centimeters each year. This area is currently one of the most active fault regions in the world and has the most apparent geological features, making it a key focus for earthquake research both domestically and internationally. The Chishang Hakka Industry Exchange Center (Digiou Pavilion) was formerly the Chishang Visitor Center of the National Highway Administration and operates by combining academic research with guided tourism. The second floor of the Digiou Pavilion will host five crustal deformation measurement instruments set up by the Academia Sinica, providing environmental education information to the public as well as resources for international academic use. The first floor features various permanent exhibitions and hosts occasional events related to Hakka culture, promoting Hakka culture while also integrating the local geological characteristics, creating a unique travel highlight with distinctive local features!
