Xiluo Yanping Old Street Cultural Center (Jiefa Qianji Tea Shop) Introduction
The Xiluo Yanping Old Street Cultural Center, a stunning fusion of Han, Japanese, and Western architectural styles, was originally the Jie Fa Tea House of the Xu family. It was later generously provided for use by local cultural organizations and community universities. This traditional three-section building consists of a tea shop, a hall, and a courtyard, and is considered a classic architecture that incorporates elements of Han, Japanese, and Western designs. In 2002, with the consent of the Xu family, the Luoyang Cultural and Educational Foundation relocated to the old Jie Fa Tea House, and with the assistance of the Ministry of Culture, established the "Xiluo Yanping Old Street Cultural Center" as a base for cultural revitalization and community activation. Since then, Jie Fa Tea House has transformed into a venue for the Xiluo cultural renaissance. In 2007, Jie Fa Tea House was officially recognized as a historical building. Funded by the Ministry of Culture, Yunlin County Government, donations from the Luoyang Cultural and Educational Foundation, and contributions from the Xu family, it took 11 years to be beautifully restored and reopened in August 2013. The Luoyang Cultural and Educational Foundation continues to operate the "Xiluo Yanping Old Street Cultural Center" and the "Xiluo Tourism Service Center." Having stood steadfastly in the streets of Xiluo for over a century, Jie Fa Tea House provides opportunities for the continuation and renewal of Xiluo's historical culture. The old Jie Fa Tea House carries on the mission of preserving and regenerating the cultural heritage of Xiluo, continuing the pioneering spirit of the founder Xu Jinsheng, who was known for his dedication to work and generosity. - Offers free audio guides - Hosts cultural events and promotes cultural activities - Guided tours (reservation required) - Provides travel consultation services, pamphlets, and promotional materials for events
