Dali Yi Cultural Center Introduction
Dali District has been developed for commerce since the late Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period. With the changes in river routes during the Japanese colonial period, the river port gradually transformed, bringing new development opportunities to the area. During this time, in response to governance needs, local townships appointed "Baozheng" (equivalent to today's village chief) to communicate and execute official administrative measures. This historical building, built in 1929 alongside the township office, originally served as a meeting place for the Baozheng of Dali District during the Japanese colonial period. After the end of Japanese rule in 1945, it was used as a household registration office and later transformed into the Daxin Community Activity Center. In 1999, in conjunction with the revitalization plan of Dali District's old street, it was renovated for use as the Dali Cultural Center, showcasing unique Japanese colonial period architecture in the old street area and displaying relevant historical materials and artifacts. Special exhibitions are planned periodically.
