Chihshang Di-Niu Story Museum Introduction
The Chihshang Fault is a well-known seismic fault in eastern Taiwan, extending from the southeast of Ruisi, Hualien to the southeast of Chihshang, particularly around Jinyuan Village in Chihshang. It is characterized by continuous tectonic movement, slowly rising at nearly three centimeters per year, making it one of the most active and visibly distinct fault regions in the world, and a key focus for earthquake research both domestically and internationally. The Chihshang Hakka Industry Exchange Center (Diniu Museum) was formerly the Chihshang Visitor Center of the Taichung District Agricultural Research and Extension Station, operating through a combination of academic research and tourism guidance. The second floor of Diniu Museum will collaborate with the Academia Sinica's installation of five crustal deformation measuring instruments in the area to provide environmental education information and resources for international academic use. The first floor features various permanent exhibitions and regularly hosts Hakka cultural activities. In addition to promoting Hakka culture, it also integrates the local geological characteristics, forming a unique tourist highlight with local features.
