Meishan Agricultural Association Rural Culture Museum Introduction
Meishan Township is located in the northeast corner of Chiayi County, bordering Alishan Township to the east, Dalin Township and Minxiong Township to the west, Qing Shui Creek and Gukeng Township in Yunlin County to the north, and Zhuzhu Township to the south. The township consists of eighteen villages, featuring hilly terrain, shallow mountains, and high mountains, with undulating ridges and fast-flowing rivers, 90% of which are mountainous areas. In earlier years, due to inconvenient transportation, the early inhabitants lived a self-sufficient lifestyle. To help modern people understand the evolution of Meishan and evoke a sense of nostalgia, the agricultural association has undertaken the responsibility of historical heritage preservation by planning a Rural Cultural Center. Located on the third floor of Building D of Meishan Township Agricultural Association, the center includes: an agricultural tools exhibition area, a rural daily necessities exhibition area, displays of agricultural practices and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms, a traditional bamboo ancient house, scenic landscaping of plum gardens, scenic landscaping of bamboo groves, an industrial cultural exhibition area, a three-dimensional model of tea garden, an antique tea art classroom, a manual cultivation garden for Aiyu jelly, a modern tea-making machinery exhibition, a map of Meishan Township, panoramic views of Meishan Township, a century-old plum tree, historical artifacts of Meishan, explanations of the origins of Meishan... and more. The Rural Cultural Center invites you to trace the past, recount the stories of yesteryear, and revisit the lives of our ancestors.
