Beixi Village Papercutting Art Village Introduction
Beixi Li Paper Cutting Art Village utilizes the traditional Chinese paper cutting art, primarily featuring the vibrant color red. The artworks, adorned on white walls and utility poles, radiate a strong festive atmosphere, making it the most culturally rich painted village in Taiwan during the New Year season. Beixi Li Paper Cutting Art Village maintains many ancient Minnan-style buildings, including a nearly century-old siheyuan (courtyard house), which is quite intriguing. The weathered walls are decorated with white backgrounds and bold red patterned totemic paper cutting art, focusing on themes such as fables, the twelve zodiac animals, and festive celebrations. The painted works stand out with their originality, leaving a lasting impression on visitors. Regular temple activities attract devout worshippers, and the paper cutting paintings within the community further enhance the festive atmosphere, adding an artistic flair to the streets. Tourists can not only participate in worship but also appreciate the paper cutting art and experience the local cultural ambiance.
