Dali Cultural Center Introduction
Dali Village has been developing since the late Qing Dynasty during the reign of Qianlong. With the changes in the waterways during the Japanese colonial period, the river port gradually transformed, bringing new development opportunities to the area. During the Japanese rule, to facilitate governance, the village established a "bao zheng" (equivalent to the current village chief) to convey and implement official administrative measures. This historical building was constructed in 1929 alongside the township office, originally serving as a meeting place for the Dali Village "bao zheng" during the Japanese colonial period. After the retrocession in 1945, it was repurposed for use as a household registration office and later transformed into the Daxin Community Activity Center. In 1999, as part of the Dali Village Old Street renovation project, it was remodeled for use as the Dali Village Cultural Hall, showcasing unique Japanese colonial architecture in the old street area and displaying historical materials and artifacts related to Dali, with occasional special exhibitions planned.
